Wild Light returns for its fifth year — 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.

More details — including the 2026 curator, featured artists, programming schedule, and more — will be announced in the coming months. Sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Instagram and Facebook to be the first to hear updates on Wild Light 2026.
