What a hidden gem. We went to locate photos by Maine artist Dave Wade. The owner, Anne Kingman…read morePage, is fantastic. What a great eye. This gallery features a beautiful range of local art. I am a native Californian who moved here from Los Angeles in 2010. Maine has an art scene that rivals ANY major city. This gallery understands and champions local artists. It is worth finding this place!!

I had the opportunity to visit the Moss Galleries because my neighbor across the street is an…read moreartist and had an opening there. So close to home! It's a really nice, large space. There's a huge carpet in the middle of the room (at least with the current setup) but I can see how artificial walls could easily be brought in to make even more wall space. Having said that, it would also be a great space for sculptures. The woman working at the desk seemed very friendly, though I did not take the opportunity to chat with her much. I do feel like it's a bit of shame it's in the middle of a strip mall next to Shaw's, but we can't all land primo real estate I guess. Having said that, it's a perfect opportunity to drop by once every couple weeks before/after your grocery shopping. I believe I will do this in the future!

If you want to see (mostly) Maine artists' work, well-hung and well-lit, Elizabeth Moss Galleries…read moreare the places to go. They are welcoming, not intimidating, and the Falmouth gallery has plenty of parking. The line up is always different at the Portland gallery than the Falmouth gallery. Both offer insights into Maine's artist community at the highest levels. Elizabeth is the right person to advise you on choosing art that works for you in your space-- office or home. Their framing services are top notch, but it's the art I go for. I make a point of visiting the galleries regularly. The shows change about once a month and even when I don't want to take any piece home, I do find the work intriguing.

So, I applaud the fact that the creators receive the compensation and presentation that they deserve. My problem was that the service I received was not at all what I would have expected. I was prepared to invest significant money in a one-of-a-kind signature piece and asked to see several hand chosen items and have pictures taken of them and sent to me so that I could make an informed decision. The owner said he would send me the pictures soon. Granted, he was very busy and overwhelmed by preparing for an event. However, he should have asked one of his assistants to follow up and get the pictures to me in a more timely manner instead of micro-managing every single interaction in the shop. When I reached out in a few hours to find out when I would receive the pictures, he was very testy over the phone. He was very stressed by his own schedule and workload but that is no excuse for rudeness. When I did to back to make a purchase, he was again, dismissive, irritable and gave me no attention when I forked over $3000.00 for a necklace. But he was ingratiating with other customers who came in as couples or families. So, I felt completely slighted by his treatment. He didn't even bother to give me a card or statement about the artist that I would have needed for my insurance. In short, it is a fabulous shop filled with high end, one-of-a-kind pieces but the owner seems to reserve his hospitality and attention for customers that he views as of high status. I am a professional woman of means but was treated like a bum off the street. I am very disappointed by what should have been a lovely experience.
