EARLVILLE – Have you ever wondered how an artist colony might have gotten started? What are the ingredients that make them magical? One factor surely is the natural beauty of an area that draws artists, but then another factor has to be the ‘word of mouth’ that starts with connections between people who are passionate about what they do. The current show in the EOH West Gallery, “Monhegan, Maine” resulted when a particular place known for its beauty exerted its magic and drew artists with faraway connections from another time and place to its summer art colony.
