The Chestertown Arts League show for October is called “Portals.” Evie Baskin, as curator of this show, has invited artists to step out on a creative limb to come up with their own interpretation of this versatile theme. For some, a portal could mean a physical opening, such as a gate, an archway, path or door, or perhaps it might be an entrance into an imaginary world or something only dreamed about.

Maybe it is an “Aha!” moment of enlightenment, when the clouds lift and thought becomes clear, or it could be a spiritual pathway suddenly illuminated. The Portals show is open to all artists (members and non-members of CAL) and will include all forms of media, from paint, pastel and mixed media to sculpture, graphite and photography.
