As the new semester begins, the University of Maine at Augusta community is invited to attend the opening of Overshadowed this Saturday, Jan 17, at Fort Hall Gallery in Brunswick.

Overshadowed is a collaborative exhibition by UMA art professors Luc Demers and Peter Precourt, grounded in their twenty-year friendship as artists, professors and fathers. What began years ago with lunar imagery on slate chalkboards shifted after the April 2024 eclipse toward elemental explorations of light, shadow, fire and smoke. The work reflects creative transformation and the quiet dialogue that develops through long-term collaboration.

The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Dr. Amy Rahn, adding critical depth and context. Overshadowed highlights the power of full-time art faculty working together creatively, with curiosity and shared history at the center.

Dates: Jan 17 to March 14
Location: Fort Hall Gallery, Brunswick
Admission: Free
