Over more than two decades, the Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival has distinguished itself as selective and diverse, making it a premier event on the festival circuit for both vendors and buyers. Each year, we receive many more applications than we can accept. We recognize the disappointment felt by those not selected, so we offer this article to help you increase the likelihood of being selected in another year.
Laudholm Trust announces that application materials are now available for the twenty-third Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival, a highly respected show to be held September 11 and 12 at the stunning Wells Reserve at Laudholm on Maine’s southwestern coast.
Sunday afternoon’s thunderclaps and downpours sent artists scurrying for cover in the Laudholm barn during the seventh annual Painterly Day and Fresh Paint Auction on Sunday. In the convivial spirit that marks the event, painters continued working and socializing and gazing in awe at the deluge.
By auction time most of the wild weather had passed and bidders made it another fine fundraiser for the Trust. Thanks to the artists, sponsors, volunteers, buyers, and browsers for another fun event.

On Friday, April 20 from 5 to 7 pm, Laudholm Trust will exhibit Art of the Estuary, a display of fish and coastal landscape paintings by James Dochtermann. The reception, part of Laudholm Trust's 25th anniversary celebration, will be held in Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve. Sponsors of the event include Bergen and Parkinson LLC, Consigli Construction, Digital Research, and Kennebunk Savings Bank. The Coastal Resource Library at Wells Reserve will hold an open house to coincide with the reception.
James Dochtermann is a scientist and artist currently working at the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve. As a scientist, he has investigated fish communities and habitats in estuaries, watersheds, and offshore areas of the Gulf of Maine. That research informs his artistry, where he uses oil and water-based paints to depict fishes and their habitats.
Dochtermann recently spent two years in northern Japan, where he compared and contrasted his knowledge of Maine's environment with the habitats and species of Tohoku. He produced artwork for several showings in Japan. His illustrations have also appeared in numerous documents and publications relating to the Gulf of Maine. James lives in Alfred with his wife Junko. website
Dochtermann's exhibit will continue for the Wells Reserve Earth Day Celebration on Saturday.
