10:30 a.m. Take in some treasured Maine art

Intricacy and devotion are on display in “Jeremy Frey: Woven,” through Sept. 15 at the Portland Museum of Art. Mr. Frey is a seventh-generation basketmaker from the Passamaquoddy tribe in Maine whose works have been shown at art markets for years and are found in major museums across the United States. This is the first solo museum exhibition for Frey, with more than 50 baskets and a short film documenting his process. While at the museum, you can see paintings by Winslow Homer and N.C. Wyeth, but don’t miss the work of artists who have broadened and deepened the legacy of Maine art in recent decades, including paintings by Reggie Burrows Hodges and Daniel Minter, and sculpture by Lauren Fensterstock. (Admission free for ages 21 and under. Seniors and students, $18. All others, $20.)
