LOVELL — Hewnoaks Artist Residency will host Wild Light, its fifth annual free outdoor public arts event, on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Hewnoaks property on Kezar Lake (68 Hewnoaks Road, Lovell). Free of charge and open to all, Wild Light brings together visual art, live music, hands-on activities, food and drink, and the natural beauty of western Maine for a late summer afternoon of community and creative celebration.

About the Exhibition, “Nature Worship” — This year’s exhibition, titled “Nature Worship,” is curated by Nate Luce and takes advantage of two of Hewnoaks’ greatest strengths: its deep community of engaged alumni and its integration into the surrounding natural landscape. At its center is one of the more pressing issues in contemporary society — a general sense of alienation — and an exploration of how artists use their relationship with nature to address what has fallen away: spiritual grounding, economic security, collective belonging.
