Current Exhibit
September 19th – October 23rd
Saco Museum is proud to present “Mixed Palettes”, an unique visual arts experience showcasing art works from three local artists who followed their own paths into art making. This exhibit features artists Bob Dunn, Steve Shiman and Ray Lund offering works in media such as bronze, collage, digital and traditional photography, digillages, pastels, plaster, watercolors, notable pieces, or unique installations. “Mixed Palettes” highlights the different divergent and convergent paths that these three Saco artists chose to follow. In each of their own ways and with different backgrounds, Dunn, Lund and Shiman have created significant bodies of work that demonstrate a range of skill development and how they chose to transform their ideas, moods and feelings into artistic statements.
The exhibit features scheduled times when each artist will be available for discussions or to work on current projects live in the gallery. School groups are invited to schedule educational experiences, while residential centers, businesses, and community organizations can book custom workshops designed to explore the transformative nature of art.
“Mixed Palettes” will run from September 19, 2026, to October 23, 2026. Admission to Saco Museum is free during the run of this exhibition, thanks to a generous donor.
The public is invited to an opening reception for “Mixed Palettes” on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Join us for an opportunity to meet the three exhibiting artists and enjoy light refreshments. Each artist will offer one of their art works as a door prize (drawing at 7:30PM, winners must be present to claim prize).
