Roots and Tendrils is a great arts venue located in downtown Belfast.  They feature artwork and music by local Maine and New England artists.  It was recently brought to our attention that the current exhibit at the gallery could not have been possible without Goodwill.

That’s what we like to hear!

Artist Edward Anthonis has a new show on display called Reuse, Repurpose, Rebirth.  The show features found items and pieces of art that he reworks into new creations – the majority of which he found at the Belfast Goodwill!  Here is an excerpt from his artist’s statement:

It is a great show and I think it inspires others to find the possibilities of new work in old objects.  The show is only on display until August 2, so be sure to check it out in the next few weeks. Do you know of other galleries in northern New England that features repurposed art? Leave us a comment and let us know!

If you live up in the midcoast area of Maine or want to take a drive up one weekend, you should check out a new exhibit at the Waterfall Arts Museum.

“Second Lives” runs from March 6 through April 24 and features artwork by Ben Potter, Karen MacDonald, Ethan Andrews, Mark Kelly, Beth Henderson and David McLaughlin.

Beth Henderson created an exhibit entirely out of shoes she found at the Goodwill store in Belfast.  For more information, you can read this article in the Village Soup.
