FOURTH FRIDAY ARTWALK
I am honored and thrilled to present the work of Abigail Lee Goldberger at Gallery Paraply at the next Fourth Friday Artwalk. Abigail’s beautiful work feels like it comes from another world, ethereal and full of possibilities.
Come to Paraply from 4-7 on July 25th to meet the artist and her work as you explore all the wonderful art all around town.
We look forward to seeing you!
Bio
Abigail Lee Goldberger is a narrative artist, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She currently lives in San Francisco, California and works out of Art Explosion Studios on Alabama street in the Mission District. She has been featured in solo shows and has taken part in numerous group exhibitions across the US. She is a member of City Art Gallery in the Mission District of San Francisco and does select monthly showings there. Her first book, ‘The Doorway Inside the Cat’, was published in March of 2020 and features all five of the stories in her illustrated story series. She is the creator of the evolving interactive web-based art project, The Oracle of Dreams, oracleofdreams.org. And she is the founder of Sheepscot Arts Preserve, an artist residency center in Midcoast Maine that supports narrative, visionary and outsider artists of all disciplines.
Thank you to all that came to the last Artwalk and thanks most of all to Miles Cannon whose work can still be seen from Wednesday-Friday July 16-18 from 12 and if you can’t make it during those hours let me know and I’ll do my best to get you in!
For many years, the Fourth Friday Art Walk in Belfast has established itself as a summer staple for both residents and tourists alike. Belfast is known by many as an “arts destination,” and visitors come to our little city to experience our way of life. By showcasing local talent, creativity, and our strong community, the Fourth Friday Art Walk brings both energy and entrepreneurial opportunity to artists and businesses throughout the summer and fall months.
The Fourth Friday Art Walk presents artists with a unique way to showcase their work and engage with crowds of new and returning audiences.
Open hours in 2025 will be 4pm – 7pm on:
May 23, June 27, July 25, August 22, September 26, and October 24.*

ALIHOOP IS ART FOR ALL!
Alihoop is an innovative way to connect people, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually through celebration and the arts. Alihoop was started as a way to invite people to share their artwork in an accepting and unique way, eschewing the normally staid gallery experience and branching out to populations of Maine who don’t normally have an opportunity to interact with the artworld; making art accessible to everyone, as it should be. Each Alihoop is a beautiful, whimsical, warm and accepting experience, with interactive art activities for children and adults, music, performances, with a different and surprising energy at each one.
There have been 5 Alihoops so far but I am taking a break for the summer to be able to be a part of Belfast’s Fourth Friday Artwalk. Let me know if you have an idea for any upcoming collaborations here at Paraply or are interested in hosting an art event at another location. See below for an Alihoop slideshow and/or go to my gatherings & events page to see some of the work I have done in the past.
Stay in touch, there’s more to come!
