Art Review: Local color abounds at Damariscotta space

With the exception of Portland, Maine’s art centers tend to be in charming little towns dispersed along the coast. The areas around these towns are full of artists in need of venues for their work.

Local Music Review: Ayuh, pardner – Maine meets Nashville, and it’s fun

Go See a Movie: One too many ‘Shreks,’ as film No. 4 is, well, ‘nothing like it used to be’

A flair for the ‘perpendramatic’

SOUTH PORTLAND — While trying to find a new way to present his photography, Christian Farnsworth invented a new word: Perpendrama. It’s a combination of perpendicular and panorama, and its definition, at least for now, goes something like this: A vertical panorama that incorporates both horizons.
