Raffle for an Original Lee Bean Watercolor Painting
NORWAY - The Western Maine Art Group (WMAG) has received a wonderful
donation of an original Lee Bean watercolor painting from the collection of
Suzanne Grover which will be raffled in December as a fundraiser for the
nonprofit arts group. The painting is currently on exhibit at the Lajos Matolcsy
Arts Center (MAC), the historic schoolhouse gallery owned by the WMAG at 480
Main Street in Norway.
This beautiful still-life of a garden cottage on Monhegan Island
is a fund raiser to help keep the Lajos Matolcsy Art Center in Norway open for
the winter months to accommodate the many people who are taking art classes. Funds
will also be used to help with the constant improvements to the
historic gallery, which has become a center for the arts in the
Western Maine area.
