Becca Case, MFA ’11, at Freeport Creative Arts
“Experiencing Freeport – Knowing our Town through Art” showcases artwork, by members of the Freeport Creative Arts, in downtown store windows through the end of the year. The artwork depicts, in some way, the environs or history of Freeport. This effort will highlight area interests and show that Freeport has much to offer outside the retail sector. The artwork focuses on a variety of local interests from the coastline and downtown to Freeport’s idyllic cottages and area parks. Information with each piece of artwork will point viewers to area interests and provide enough background to encourage viewers to learn more about the Freeport behind Main Street.”
An artists’ reception will take place on Friday, September 4, from 5 -6:30pm at Freeport Village Station.
