June 12–July 14: Director ’s Choice: Rosamund Berg: Variations on a Wave Theme: Over the last 25 years, the artist has sailed extensively, observing water and waves. In this new exhibit of paintings, Berg expresses the beauty, power and energy she sees and feels in the flow and cycles of waves and water. Liz Dexheimer: Sacred Places: In this exhibit of paintings and printmaking, the artist creates invented landscapes, sometimes filled with storytelling and symbols, other times not, but always acknowledging and celebrating the elegance of nature. Dexheimer ’s works are a response to the deserts and mesas of the western part of the country. Alanna Fagan: The View Inside: The paintings of real places in this exhibit of new works explore the psychological implications of domestic interiors. Within these interiors, the viewer can move from one room into another by way of doorways and windows, sometimes mirrors which hint at space we cannot see, but might imagine. Yolanda Petrocelli: Dreams, Women & Time: Inspired by recent trips to Mexico, her fascination with a gigantic moth on the wall of a museum, 500-year-old trees and landscape, the artist was inspired to create a new series of self-portraits. Images that are both dreamlike and surreal, celebrating the spirit of women and nature.

General admission is $5.00. Admission is free for members, Rockport residents and children. The facilities are fully wheelchair accessible. Through July 18: Comic-al: Comic-al explores the aesthetic, stylistic, and conceptual influence comics, animation, and other popular imagery have had on art making. Some of the twelve artists in this exhibition use comics’ sequential narrative structure, others are drawn to its simplified line work. Still other artists play with icons from popular imagery, including 1950s television shows and toys. Comprised of site-specific drawings, paintings, collages, prints, drawings, films, sculptures, and trompe l’oeil objects, this multi-media exhibition has a sometimes dark, sometimes hilarious streak. Participating artists are Nancy Andrews, Jeff Badger, Patrick Corrigan, John Fawcett, Lisa Pixley, Deborah Randall, Scott Reed, Randy Regier, Alex Rheault, Bill Ronalds, Mike Stiler, and Henry Wolyniec. YOU ARE HERE: Linden Frederick, Studies and Paintings: Following on the successes of previous Distinguished Artist exhibitions of the work of Alan Magee and Lois Dodd, CMCA is now celebrating long-time Belfast resident Linden Frederick as the 2009 Distinguished Artist with the exhibition YOU ARE HERE: Linden Frederick, Studies and Paintings. An outstanding realist artist with a national reputation, Frederick has made Maine his home since 1989. His range of subjects encompasses isolated houses, fairground buildings, shop windows, gas stations, railroad yards, motels, and drive-ins, as well as large urban panoramas and stretches of roads. Frederick has a unique ability to find beauty where we may least expect it. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue that also contains an essay by curator Britta Konau. Opening receptions: April 24, 5–7 p.m. Gallery talk with Linden Frederick: June 30, 7 p.m. Comic-al roundtable discussion: July 14, 7 p.m. All events are free for CMCA Members or with admission. Combined with these exhibitions, CMCA will launch a “Share Art with a Friend” membership drive in which all new memberships will be matched by a portion of the Cellardoor Vineyard sponsorship for these events.

A psychological parallel may exist (or not), as she examines the mechanics of how we make the world work for us. Gallery II: Gallery Artists: Building Permit. Using a diversity of media, regional artists explore the process of building up an artwork, layer by layer—as well as dissect the art of how actual buildings go up or come down. In both cases, many permissions are allowed. Opening reception: June 5, 5:30 – 7:30 pm. July 1–25: Gallery I and II: Jennifer Day: Ocean and Air. In these new paintings, Jennifer Day explores the relationships between liquid phenomena in large-scale oils in black and white. While Day’s work explores the mystery of natural phenomena, it communicates a vastness of air, water and space that suggests something has just happened, or is about to. Few elements are solid; most are fugitive. The imposing shapes suggest an infinity which is both elegant and overwhelming. Opening reception: July 10, 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
