All are welcome at the free Artist Reception for local artists Bill and Jean Scolere. The exhibition opened May 20th and will continue until July 5th.
Bill and Jean Scolere are longtime residents of Gorham and active members of the art community since 1976. Their art works have graced the exhibition spaces of a number of North Country venues.
Bill and Jean met as art majors in college and have over the years pursued their interests in the arts. Bill has established himself as a print-maker and Jean has studied water color painting.
The exhibition consists of works that reflect common themes with strong differences…color plays against black and white. Fine details are juxtaposed to broad strokes with subtle variations. The choice of works fill the Medallion Opera House Gallery with a studied eye toward exhibition presentation and style. Both artists have displayed high quality standards in the artistic expression and presentation.
The artistic themes in the show run the gamut from the beautiful to the mysterious to the puzzling. Animals, objects, landscapes, architecture, flowers, and figures offer subjects to be contemplated. Visual poetry abounds!
The reception provides the viewer with an opportunity to discuss the works in the show with the artists. Techniques, styles, subject matter, and inspiration may be contemplated.
Light refreshments will be served.

Trouble in the Presidentials: What a Mountaineering Accident Can Teach Us About Decision Making and Managing Risk
Although strikingly beautiful, Mount Washington and the surrounding Presidential Range hold the dubious distinction of having “the world’s worst weather.” The Presidential Range is also world-renowned for the challenging terrain it provides for alpinists, and as such has been the scene of hundreds of mountaineering accidents over the years. Certified Wilderness First Responder Ty Gagne will provide an in-depth analysis of a recent tragedy on the range and extend those lessons and others learned above tree-line into people’s roles as outdoor enthusiasts, and in their day-to-day lives.
All programs held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) in the Summit Lodge’s Great Room. Attendance is free and the public is invited to all programs. Call (603) 788-4004 for confirmation of dates and topics.
