As a fan of history and historic buildings, I was a bit nervous when I heard a few years that this…read moreold place was being renovated. Originally home to the local chapter of Knights of Pythias, this space has a long history in Brunswick. I attended an event here this weekend which was the first time I had been in the new space and was very impressed by the results. The room still had the important elements preserved but is now more accessible and usable in the 21st century. Well done.

Another spot in Bath that I think is worth coming into and looking around. They have a large…read morevariety of art from many different artists. Which I think spots like this are a great way to showcase so many different types of art because art is so subjective every piece will attract people who enjoy it. They definitely had some pieces I enjoyed, while some were definitely not things I would care for, but many would disagree with me I'm sure. We were greeted with a friendly welcome, and since we just did a quick browse that was our only interaction but the worker or owner did seem keen on helping others who were there so that's a plus for customer service. Lastly like I said art is subjective and an artist can put any value they'd like so long as it sells but some prices for pieces my wife or I liked deterred us from thinking about buying them. Despite this I like spots like this for the fact it is a place that can showcase so many artists in one spot. It truly allows for everyone to find their right piece of art and every artist to find their audience. A shop worth stopping at during your stroll in Bath Maine!

I have to say that this gallery has a great selection of interesting art. Like many galleries,…read morethere were some pieces that I loved (beautiful woven rugs, delicate silver jewelry, and unique artwork in many mediums), and some pieces that I didn't quite care for (weird puppets, painted pottery, and wool hats), but art is subjective! Definitely a place to stop just to take a look or to find a statement piece for your home (if you can afford it!!)

We visited this gallery on our way from Kennebunkport to Southport and I am glad we did. Not only…read moredid we enjoy the work of owner/artist Keith Oehmig, but we had the opportunity to talk with him. Also, two of the works hanging in the gallery were done by James Fitzpatrick who is famous for paintings he did while living for several years on Monhegan Island.

I liked the Wiscasset Bay Gallery, but my appreciation is tempered by the fact that everything that…read moreI really liked was at least five thousand dollars. I can't blame them for my apparent good taste, they have a large variety and it's worth taking a look. Especially if you've got money. :)

Unfortunately we arrived 20 minutes before closing but the manager did not put any pressure on us to hurry up. She was excellent and very helpful in telling us the history and selection of the item we purchased. This store also has consignment artists that display jewelry and beautiful metal working to enjoy and purchase which makes it even more fun. There is even a seconds area up stairs at a 20% discount for less than perfect pieces. Note - We actually happened to find their second store on the waterfront in Portland Maine. Unfortunately we did not have any room left in our luggage or a place to put it at home....

The services and opportunities this non-profit agency provides for its artists is amazing. I have a…read morerelative with disabilities who loves this program. She carries frustrations with her that are connected to the challenges she faces every day, and going to Spindleworks relieves that frustration for her. She enjoys creating art or fine crafts, but more than that, she expresses herself through her art in ways she cannot verbally. When she first began, she only created one simple form of finished work, but they encouraged her over s long period of time to branch out, and now she creates art in many different ways: painting, weaving, ceramics and more. And on the more practical side, Spindleworks has a store that you have to visit. The products are unique and expressive, and a good percentage of the purchases goes to the artists, as it should be. A new twist is that after you are done shopping in the store itself, you can explore the entire artist facility, as they also have items for sale on display in all the art rooms.

The art is all from local folks with varying degrees of taste and skill. It's relatively small but a nice stop to make, especially to get out of the sun for a few minutes. The prices seemed a little high to me after seeing things in galleries around the area. It's staffed by volunteers from the artist's group and they can answer questions about the artists.
