The first Friday of each month, year round, Wintergreen Arts Center participates in the First Friday Art Walk. This wider community event brings local businesses together to celebrate and showcase local artisans. The event is free and open to the public.
Wintergreen to feature an artist and a photographer in November:
Jeff Ouellette and Cindy Parent Saggese
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine—Wintergreen Arts Center to feature artist Jeff Ouellette and photographer Cindy Parent Saggese during the month of November. Their opening reception will be held on November 1, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, during Presque Isle’s First Friday Art Walk.
The reception is open and free to the public. Live music will be performed by Janice Santos. Refreshments will be served.
Jeff Ouellette is a self-taught artist who enjoys many forms of art. His primary focus is on Aroostook County’s agricultural history and the artistic preservation of machines of the past. Jeff enjoys working with children and adults who have academic, physical, and developmental challenges. His artistic heroes include Van Gogh, Peter Max, and Dr. Seuss.
Cindy Parent Saggese started taking photos after her first grandson came along so she could capture as many memories as possible. Photography was something Cindy found she loved doing. She also loves learning new things and taking on new projects from learning how to burn wood to helping her husband create props for their yearly Halloween display. Cindy lives in Limestone with her husband, Kevin, and Goldendoodle, Cooper.
“Featuring Jeff’s artwork and Cindy’s photography together is a great combination,” said Gretchen Violette, Wintergreen’s event director. “Their work is unique, yet their passion for their individual artforms is similarly engaging. We hope the community comes out to support the show and their talent.”
