I love artists' co-op galleries, and this is exactly what this is. There is variety in subject,…read morequality, medium, etc. depending on who is showing at the co-op at that moment. I bought a beautiful little painting in encaustic, and the price was reasonable. (No New York City prices here!) Some works are by full-time artists, others by amateurs, or people who just do art on the side. Because of the location, there definitely is a 'Maine wilderness' bias in the art, but I bought something abstract, for example. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by - it's open 7 days.

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.

I resisted the latter but did buy four wonderful creations: A stained glass kaleidoscope, two wooden wildlife puzzles with big pieces, so good for little kids, and a whale sun catcher.

For a small town, the center does offer a variety of classes and programs. However, the success of…read morethe programs myself and other family members have taken, have fallen very short of expectations. My sister was enrolled in pottery/clay course. Even after the course ended she was never able to get all of the items she made nor was she able to finish them. I myself filmed a concert for them with the agreement of getting paid. After filming, communication fell short on their behalf and they never got back to me. It seems though that fresh blood has come to town and the staff and board members have greatly changed. Maybe things will change for the good? Only time will tell...

Cookie and Delaney set us up for a great week right off the bat. The center itself is super cozy and is a fully functioning theater space. The wood floors were great for dancing, there was a dressing room and large backstage area, and a kitchen/fridge available for us to use! They were very flexible with our tech times and needs, and they ran the show themselves splendidly. Beer and wine were available with a donation, too! The show itself was very intimate and special. I hear that they have a lot of different programs, from circus camps to local choirs. Definitely worth a visit! This place is amazing.
