The Kennebunkport-based artist Brad Maushart doesn’t have a cell phone. When he strolls out of his downtown Kennebunkport gallery, f-8, for a coffee, he brings along the old cordless. The other locals laugh; Brad loves it. Social media may have its appeal, but, “I’d rather put my energy into my art,” he explains. Technology and the constant…
“I don’t typically hang my work in cafes,” says the cutting-edge Boston-based artist Markus Sebastiano, whose work was selected for an MFA Summer Party auction and can be found all over Boston, and who has worked with the W Hotel and the Lot F Gallery. “But the interior space at Pure Cold Press is ideal.” Cold-pressed juice…
