We are so excited to present our Maine Artist Series highlighting the works of local Maine artists. All events will have either the artist and/or the filmmaker(s) present to share the experience of the making of the art or film. We start this series with Artist Alan Magee and his film "ALAN MAGEE- art is not a solace".

Best known for his captivating realist paintings, artist Alan Magee also creates works that delve into the darkest aspects of human nature. His arresting images which comment on corporate greed, on cruelty and gun violence, and on civilian and military victims of war seem at odds with his serene paintings of nature and found objects, but through his distinctive visual language and interconnected themes, Magee suggests that these dual realms are inseparably interwoven.

Shot on location, from Pemaquid Point, Maine to the streets of Berlin, Alan Magee: art is not a solace explores the artist's subjects, locales, and the historical sources which have sustained his work for five decades. Through his paintings, sculpture, monotypes, music and short films, Magee invites viewers to travel with him through the veiled recesses of human experience—and back into the affirming light of day.

We will have prints of Alan's work in the gallery preceding the film screening and we are thrilled that he will be in attendance to present the film along with filmmaker P. David Berez the filmmaker to answer any questions.

Doors open at 6pm. Show starts at 7pm. Concessions will be available. Tickets are $10 in advance online for adults ($15 at the door) and $5 for youth. For tickets go to: https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/213030.

All proceeds will go to supporting the Maine Artist Film Series and our future programming.
