The Maine Lighthouse Museum in Rockland is hosting a two-day art festival on August 15 & 16, 2008, featuring the talented works of many local Midcoast Maine artists, which will be on exhibit for public preview and auction.
The event, which will benefit the Maine Lighthouse Museum, founded by the late Ken Black “Mr. Lighthouse,” and home to the nation’s most significant collection of classical Fresnel lenses, will offer a variety of artistic items, including artwork, woodworking and jewelry.

The highlight of the event will be a silent auction, as well as a live auction of the artwork on Saturday, August 16th from 5 to 8 pm, with Champagne and hors d ‘oeuvres served.
