No signs point the way to the secluded, discreet Sarah Bouchard Gallery, which curator Bouchard opened in April on a back road in Woolwich. An arts-scene vet with gallery and nonprofit experience, Bouchard asks would-be visitors to book reservations for exhibitions in what had been her garage (now fantastically renovated). So far, the down-low strategy seems to be working: the gallery’s June exhibit of Waldoboro painter Dozier Bell got rave reviews and nearly sold out. Bouchard’s eye is for minimalism, abstract or representational, and her stable of artists alone — Bell, Josefina Auslender, Michael Mansfield, and Kate Russo among them — makes the gallery worth seeking out.
