Wild Light returns for its fifth year β€” Hewnoaks’ annual day of art, music, and gathering on the lake!

Once a year, we open the property to our neighbors and community for a chance to explore the grounds, meet our alumni artists, and experience Hewnoaks the way it’s meant to be experienced: surrounded by people, art, and the landscape that shapes both.

This year’s exhibition will feature up to 10 primarily Maine-based artists working across visual arts, performance, and music/sound, with a focus on works that engage with the environment and spirit of Hewnoaks. Refreshments will be available, and artworks will be for sale.

While we welcome walk-ins, we’d appreciate it if you could help us estimate headcount by registering on Eventbrite.

Wild Light Highlights:

Meet this year's curator:

Nate Luce

This year’s exhibition is curated by Nate Luce, a Rockland-based multimedia artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, embroidery, music, and installation.

A two-time Hewnoaks alumnus, Nate brings a deep familiarity with Hewnoaks and what it asks of artists. His vision for Wild Light centers on the natural world as a source of connection and meaning, and the many different ways artists interpret it.

Artist lineup and full details coming soon – stay tuned!
