SUMMARY:Don Bardole Exhibit Reception
DESCRIPTION:Don Bardole hosts a reception for his SPL exhibit with light refreshments and live music performed by Rugosa Rose. A selection of Don’s paintings past and present are on display August 6 through October 19 at SPL. \nDon Bardole is originally from upstate New York and had most of his formal education in the Northeast. During his college years\, he fiddled with art but only began to paint and sculpt seriously once he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1980. He has taken various classes around Northern California while earning a living as a medical doctor. He currently splits his time between Stonington and San Francisco. \nHe began as a watercolor painter but now mainly paints in oil. Landscapes\, seascapes\, and cityscapes are what he paints the most. He captures images of Maine and California that interest him\, bringing a different perspective and rich color to the canvas. Much of his work is done from photos that he takes with a composition already in mind; he paints plein-air as well. Don is a member of the Deer Isle Artists Association.

SUMMARY:Downeast with SPL: 44 North Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Get hands on roasting experience. Taste amazing coffee. And go home with a freshly roasted bag of coffee of your choosing. \nSee behind the scenes of 44 North Coffee. Join Alix\, Head Roaster and Production Manager\, during an active roast day. Learn about how 44 North sources coffee\, how coffee travels all the way from origin to Deer Isle\, and how coffee is transformed “from bean to cup.” See the coffee roasting process in action. Participate in a coffee cupping\, a system of evaluation via sniffing\, slurping\, swishing a sample of coffee. Learn how to apply language to your tastebuds. \n44 North Coffee was born in 2010 on a small island off the coast of Maine by Megan Dewey-Wood and Melissa Raftery. Founded on the principle that fresh and ethically sourced coffee sips best\, we custom roast organic Arabica coffee beans in Deer Isle. We honor the hard work of the farmers who grow our coffee by fairly purchasing seasonal organic beans and roasting to levels that highlight the best tasting notes in each cup. Enjoy at your own line of latitude! \nAlix has been the head roaster for 6 years and has a deep love and respect for coffee. Come feel and learn from her enthusiasm for these magical beans. \nLearn more about 44 North Coffee here. \nTo make reservations and for payment information\, contact SPL at the phone or email below. \nLimited to 10 people \n$75 minimum donation \nDowneast with SPL is a new fundraising series showcasing local makers\, producers\, and artists.
