Two centuries of printmaking in Maine is being celebrated in 25 of the state's arts institutions, including, locally, the Ogunquit Museum of American Art where insightful, whimsical prints created by the late Peggy Bacon are currently on view, and the Old York Historical Society's George Marshall Store Gallery, where an exhibition of the prints of University of New Hampshire Professor Scott Schnepf just opened.
