Arts. Boats. Yachts.
Art demonstrations, interesting stories by boat builders, artists and artisans, food and drink … yes it’s time for the Lincoln Arts Festival’s mid-August Arts & Yachts Exhibition and Sale Aug. 10-12!
The three-day event, held at Hodgdon Yacht Services on Southport Island ,kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 9 with a reception and preview from 5-7 p.m. Harpist Suki Flanagan will perform and many of the artists will be in attendance – and there’s always a good story or two about the work in the show.
“Thanks to the Lincoln Arts Festival board and area restaurants, fabulous refreshments will be served,” said Leslie Volpe. “The reception is open to the public and offers the opportunity of a first look at the art work for sale.”
