This is the ninth year for the Choice Art Show, and, as always, the art that fills this show stays true to the charm and appeal of the area. However, as you all know, times are changing, and we are doing our best to change with them.  We are still opening the Show Gallery at 10 Chase Hill Road in Kennebunk for the summer season with the 9th Annual Choice Art Show. Nine years, we have to keep something the same. As many of you know, this is the only show of its kind curated in part by a local designer, the artists themselves, and the public. However, the unveiling is to take place in stages. Click the links FMI.

 SO NOW THE DETAILS….. Seven "New to Maine Art Hill" artists are celebrating every aspect of Maine's life. This state is incredibly diverse, and all of its beauty is well represented. Each of the seven artists submitted six pieces of art for the show. ALL SIX WILL BE IN THE SHOW. However, this is the Choice Show, so choices had to be made. 

After careful viewing by many, the titles of People's Choice, Designers' Choice, and/or Artist's Choice have been decided. They will be "crowned" on the website on FRIDAY, MAY 28 and will be easy to find as you look through each piece.

The People's Choice, with almost seven hundred voters this year, was selected by followers of Maine Art Hill from all over the world. The Designer's Choice was once again made by local interior designer Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs. The final choice, as always, is the artists'. Occasionally there is a piece that sports two of the "titles," and rarely there is a piece that is the trifecta of Choice and is chosen by all three. This is rare! As you look through, see if you can find them. 

"Keeping tradition is important, but we have to change with these crazy times," shares owner John Spain. "The Choice Show is something our clients look forward to each year. They are invested in it. With a lot of work and some serious imagination, this event truly still has a wonderful sense of community." 

The 9th Annual Choice Art Show opens virtually on May 30 at 10 AM with a brick and mortar opening on Monday, June 1, at Shows on Maine Art Hill at 10 Chase Hill Road in Kennebunk. The opening reception for the show is also virtual and is to be held on Maine Art Hill's Facebook page at 5 PM on June 6. All are welcome to watch.
