Artists Among Us: Steve Lindsay


Artists Among Us Lecture Series: Steve Lindsay

Wednesday, July 22nd

6:30 p.m.

Thomaston Academy Building, Room 208

Sculptor Steve Lindsay of Tenants Harbor will give a slide talk about his work at the Thomaston Public Library on Wednesday July 22  at 6:30 PM. The talk will take place in Room 208 of the Academy building at 60 Main Street. The talk is part of the third Friends of the Library series, Artists Among Us.


Lindsay is best known for his direct carving in wood and stone and for his woodblock prints.  His work ranges from portraits to abstractions and from small delicate pieces to over-life size figures hewn from massive logs.  He has to his credit, a number of large commissioned works both public and private. He presently has work on display at  June LaCombe Sculpture in Pownal Maine and at the Gallery on Chase Hill in Kennebunkport. Lindsay has had many Maine Percent-For-Art Commissions in Maine Schools and in the Secretary of State's Office Building in Augusta.  Locally, his work "The Lions Of Thomaston" can be seen at the Lura Libby School and his relief, "Roots of Rockland," comissioned by the First National Bank of Damariscotta, can be seen at the bank's Rockland Branch on Park St.


Following the presentation there will be a catered reception by Scott Yakovenko for all in attendance.

The Series, Artists Among Us,  is free to the public but donations to the library will be greatly appreciated. For further information, please contact the library at (207) 354-2453.
