SUMMARY:Water’s Embrace: The Works of Jerri Finch
DESCRIPTION:Waterfall Arts Presents Water’s Embrace: The Works of Jerri Finch\nOn View: September 10–October 10\, 2026 \nOpening Reception\nThursday\, September 10 | 5:30 – 7:30 PM\nWaterfall Arts | Clifford Gallery \nArtist Talk\nThursday\, October 1 | 6:00 PM \nFor more than 40 years\, artist Jerri Finch has been painting water. Through decades of exploration\, her practice has evolved from appliqué to airbrush and machine quilting\, and ultimately to oil painting. With Water’s Embrace\, Finch shares her ongoing pursuit of something beyond the visual representation of water: its movement\, sensation\, atmosphere\, and transformative power. \nFor Finch\, water is not simply a subject. It is an immersive experience. She shares its fluidity\, the salt on her lips\, the wind in her hair\, the droplets of fog on her face\, and the sensation of surrendering herself to the water. All of these experiences inform her work. \nCold-water immersion has become an especially transformative part of Finch’s life and creative practice. When the water calls\, she enters its cold embrace to float\, swim\, or gently move with it. These experiences shape her understanding of water\, not just as something to observe\, but as something to feel. \nWater’s Embrace is an invitation to experience water through Finch’s eyes\, but also through the senses. Water is the liquid that makes life on Earth possible. As water cycles from the air to the land to the sea and back again\, it shapes our planet and nearly every aspect of our lives. These works explore the fluidity\, energy\, and surrender that come from being immersed in something larger than oneself. There is a peace and joyfulness in this body of work\, a sense of fulfillment that time by and in the ocean offers us. \nThrough this collection\, Finch hopes to inspire viewers to do more than look at the water. Instead\, she invites us to embrace it in new and playful ways.

SUMMARY:Closing Fair at 150 Year Old Spiritualist Camp in Central Maine
DESCRIPTION:The Closing Fair at Camp Etna will have vendors\, mediums giving readings and a History Walk at noon. This is the last guided tour of the season with the Camp Historian around the grounds of Camp Etna\, a Spiritualist Camp that has been providing continuous summer service since 1876. It begins at their expanded museum where the walls tell their rich history. Camp Etna was known as the seat of Spiritualism for decades. People came to speak and to be inspired from around the world. The museum is handicap accessible but the roads are not paved so if mobility is an issue access is somewhat limited.
