It's that time once again where we jump head-first down the rabbit hole out at the 10 Spot Labs on Islesford, ME! This year, we are excited to bring you an afternoon of performance art, featuring appearances by belly dancers, rock-and-rollers, poets, thesbians, song-sirens, drag queens, and one very Mad Hatter...
In partnership with The Abbe Underground, 545 & Co. proudly presents The 2013 Mount Desert Elementary School and 2013 Waponahki student art shows, featuring the musical stylings of student band POW (Play Out Workshop)! The following works are just a few of the many beautiful pieces displayed during our afternoon of fun at The Abbe Museum:
Through the fearless colors and expressions of these young artists, we are invited to glimpse the world in new and different ways.

Devised in Tokyo in 2003, Pecha Kucha (ペチャクチャ) is an event for creatives, makers, and designers to meet and share their ideas in a fun and informal environment.
"Pecha Kucha presentations can be about any topic, large or small, and the 20 slides within a presentation may be entirely visual, text oriented, or multi-media. Presentations can be made by individuals or pairs of any age willing to share ideas, experiences, work or entertainment."
... And its coming to Northeast Harbor:
It's winter in Bar Harbor!
This December, we were excited to present a month-long series of Original Installation Art by Local Artists in Bar Harbor shop windows. Some of the following installations are still on display - catch 'em while you can!
Hi friends and pals! Heres a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of my installation's creation! I guess you could say that this design started and ended with sparkles (I'm still finding them everywhere). Each cone took about 1-2 hours to cut and sew, and another hour to stuff. I wanted to sew the sequins by hand to create long-lasting pieces that would withstand normal use as dreamy throw pillows (hint hint: they're for sale!) - the process took hours but the end result was worth every stitch!
Many thanks to Danielle Mace for her enthusiasm and support - I'm looking forward to working with Macey's again soon!
