Welcome to the Tour of Maine Art 2023!

If you love art, then this is the perfect summer companion for you. We invite readers and visitors to discover exceptional Maine art while touring “Vacationland.”

This is the most exciting, culturally rich, and inspiring time of our year, where we celebrate art in all its forms. This tour will take you on a colorful journey across our beautiful state and will introduce you to iconic galleries that showcase local artists of renown. Keep this guide handy!

Summer openings can be enjoyable affairs to attend, especially when they spill out into the evening air. Interesting art, interesting conversations, summer colors, and lots of good hors d’oeuvres and wine. Opening receptions take place regularly in galleries and studios all along the coast of Maine. Visit our blog, Café des Artistes, to see what’s happening near you and make plans to see upcoming shows, and attend openings and exhibitions. Check-in with Maine Gallery Guide online to view these pages on your mobile devices and plan your route.

Connecting with Maine artwork happens on many levels. Meeting and speaking with established gallerists can often offer a much deeper understanding and awareness of the art presented. Meeting artists in their studio can be an intimate and memorable affair. However you choose to experience Maine, we hope our guide helps you discover the visual splendor captured by the many artists and craftspeople of this beautiful state.

We have a new section in this year’s guide devoted to Maine studio artists. The Studio Artists section on pages 144-149, located near the Advertisers Index, highlights some of the smaller studios that are open to the public. It is well worth a side trip to vist these hidden gems!

With The Maine Gallery + Studio Guide in hand, you are now ready to explore the beauty of Maine art. We hope our guide will help you create unforgettable art adventures and assist you in bringing home a lovely lasting memory that adds beauty, value and style to your home.
