FRYEBURG, Maine — It’s a long way from Brittany, France, to Fryeburg, Maine — but that distance may seem shorter today when the Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries of Art at Fryeburg Academy’s Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center unveils a restored large painting done in Brittany by late Fryeburg Acaedmy art instructor Benjamin Tupper Newman (1858-1940) while he was painting abroad in 1887.

Beginning with a public reception from 2-4 p.m., “Lunchtime in Brittany” and 29 other of Newman’s paintings will be on display through September.
