a one-session workshop that will take 1 ½ to 2 hours.
EVERYONE should have figured out what they want to have happen to their body after they die. This class will give you the information you need to make good decisions about those choices. This is a non-scripted class, with half of it devoted to answering your questions.
“ We’ll start by talking about the legal documents everyone should have in place, then cover planning ahead, writing things down, and having a conversation with the family about those plans. That will lead into a Q&A guided by your questions. We can talk about funeral options, home funerals, green cemeteries, alkaline hydrolysis, family burying grounds, scattering ashes, the paperwork, whatever you want to know. We’ll share stories. I’ll bet that you’ll even laugh sometimes.
If you think that this is a morbid class to be avoided at all cost, you’re wrong. My purpose is to give you the information you need to make good decisions about what happens to your body after your death and to answer any questions you may have about those choices. You’ll be surprised at how many choices you have. A recent attendee called the class “riveting.”
Sign up for this class and Chuck will answer ALL your questions and introduce you to options you didn’t know you had.

About The Gallery
C.S.A Community supported arts
Building connections and community among artists and their neighbors.
Maine's only commission free gallery. Showcasing local artists. Building connections and community among artists and their neighbors.
Local artist Camille Davidson opened this non business gallery in her small village of Readfield in 2019 with the idea of creating a supportive, joyous and community art presence in central Maine. Artists are invited for a month to exhibit a body of work in The Gallery. Davidson helps them plan and execute a solo or group show. The exhibiting artist/s provides a reception and hosts an opening and closing along with Camille.
The Gallery takes no commission. It is a work of love, passion and desire to provide opportunity for fellow artists.

Wednesday afternoons 2:00-5:00 and Saturdays 10:00-12:00
except during December, January, February and March when The Gallery is open only for monthly events or by appointment (207-522-7325).
March is an online show only
Camille lives a mile away, working in her treehouse studio and is almost always willing to open The Gallery for a private showing by appointment or last minute text (207-522-7325). So don't hesitate to call if you find yourself in Readfield and The Gallery is closed!
Concerts, lunch and learn or celebrations are planned for the long cold months, where the community gathers.

Community action
The Gallery in Readfield raises money for local causes throughout the year by donated work from artists represented in The Gallery. This year $525.00 was raised for the Maranacook food pantry from art donations from myself Camille Davidson and represented artist Valerie Upham.
Capital Area New Mainers is an organization spear headed by Chris Asch that welcomes, assists and helps support refugees from around the world to their new home in Maine. With donations from Chris Higgins and Otty Merrill we have raised $325.00.
Thank you for the help from everyone, both the generous artists who donate their work and the buyers who support the cause.

ConnectionsReflection:
Our show at The Gallery in Readfield was the second time we have exhibited our work together. The experience provided a complementary dialogue of two working artists, who have shared much of their adult lives. Having the opportunity to exhibit in central Maine brought together our neighbors, friends and professional colleagues and introduced our work to the wider community. Chris and Tom Higgins |

“Artist and friend Hélène Farrar asked if I would like to show my paintings along with her at an exhibition this spring at The Gallery in Readfield. We were in communication with Camille Davidson, artist and proprietor of The Gallery, who was supportive about any ideas we came up with regarding a theme for our show. Little did we know our theme would be washing hands and strict social distancing. Camille was open to any ideas we came up with to still have the show, but remotely. She helped us develop an idea to do weekly posts during the run of the show and promote selected pieces intermittently throughout the week. An incredible learning experience and a successful one despite being in the early stages of a world wide health crisis. The Gallery is artists helping artists. A wonderful model.” |
