IN HONOR OF BETH COSSEY
The artists at Gallery 302 are deeply saddened by the passing of a founding member and former artist of Gallery 302, Beth Cossey. Beth was a shining light of enthusiasm and support, always a tireless advocate for the arts and Gallery 302. She set a grand example on how to run a co-operative, ever the voice of reason, collaboration and inspiration.
Always one to push her creative limits, she gave others the courage to do so as well. Even when Beth left the gallery to help start the Rufus Porter Museum, she visited often to cheer us on. Gallery 302 would not be what it is today without her.
She was one classy lady.
We will miss her.

The Bridgton Art Guild, a nonprofit 501(3)c, promotes the arts and local artists in Bridgton, Maine. Since 2003, the Guild operates Gallery 302, a juried artist cooperative, managed by 43 member-artists. The Gallery provides a venue for artists and students of art to exhibit and sell original works including paintings, pottery, photography, fabric art, wood sculpture, jewelry and millinery. As part of its mission, the gallery also hosts monthly artist receptions and shows, hosts the annual Art In The Park event on the 3rd Saturday in July, and awards annual scholarships to local students pursuing a career in the arts. Gallery 302 houses the Burr Chase Center for the Arts which offers classes and workshops each month for adults and children. Named for John Burleigh “Burr” Chase, a beloved artist who passed away in 2014, the Chase family created an endowment in his name to encourage artists of all ages and make art available to all.
