This event is part of a series in partnership with the York Public Library exploring the exhibition Beverly Hallam: Chasing Light. This exhibition celebrates the visionary work of Beverly Hallam (1923–2013), a vital member of Ogunquit’s art community and a pioneering contemporary realist. Known for her innovative mastery across media, Hallam seamlessly integrated photography into her paintings and prints, shaping her luminous compositions. From coastal scenes to floral still lifes to digital abstractions, this exhibition explores Hallam’s lifelong use of photography in her pursuit to capture and express the elusive nature of light.
Curated by Kristina Durocher, Beverly Hallam: Chasing Light presents more than 30 prints, paintings and photographs drawn from the visual archives of Surf Point, York, Maine.
The exhibition will be open from May 13 through August 27, 2025 at the York Public Library.
