Arts

Our Arts program was created to bring an appreciation of the fine arts into students' lives by discovering individual talents, encouraging original expression, and fostering creative discovery. On campus, Students experience live professional performances in the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, see professionally curated exhibits in the PACE Galleries, and display their own works of art in the Nadler Gallery.

Fryeburg, Maine: An Illustrated History

The Pace Galleries of Art, in association with the Fryeburg Historical Society, presents the exhibition for "Fryeburg, Maine: An Illustrated History" written by Brad Fuller.

The book explores the challenges the early settlers faced as they traveled unworn paths in what was still a vast wilderness, and celebrates their triumphs. There was a nobility of spirit that shaped Fryeburg into the community it is today. There are tales of resilience and innovation as industry grew within the town. Each chapter reveals a layer of Fryeburg's past told through narratives and memories of the early residents.

The art exhibit includes artifacts and paintings from the Samuel Osgood House Museum, as well as prints taken from some of the beautifully restored photographs to be found throughout the book.

We are currently in between exhibits. Check back here or follow the LHE/PAC on Facebook for the latest information regarding our next exhibition. 

The Academy is eternally grateful to the Paces.

Officially opened in January of 2009, the Pace Galleries are within the new Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center and were made possible by a gift from the Paces. Stephen Pace is a world-renowned artist. He and his wife, Palmina, lived in Indiana on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana, which also benefits from a Palmina F. & Stephen S. Pace Galleries.

Stephen Pace was born in Missouri in 1918. He studied art in Indiana, Mexico, New York City, Paris and Florence. He served in World War II. He was a professor at American University in Washington, DC and retired in 1983. Palmina Pace was born in Massachusetts. She worked in advertising in New York City and married Stephen Pace in 1949. She has managed her husband's career since that time and has been instrumental in his ability to devote himself to his art.

The Academy is eternally grateful to the Paces.

Until his recent death, Stephen resided in New Harmony, IN, with his wife, Palmina, who continues to live there.

  • TRELLIS

Artist Katherine Harman Harding, Osprey Cove Studio, Freeport, Maine
TRELLIS is a body of work rooted in garden, landscape, memories of women gardeners and their desire to shape and to share their landscapes.  There are one hundred and eighty-five scrolls, measuring from four to nine feet in length. Each scroll is six inches wide and suspended from six-inch rods.  The foyer of the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center is the first space large enough to encompass the entire installation.
