While the outdoor space itself is a little rough-hewn, the displayed pieces are often intriguing, well-made, and beautiful. The Barn focuses on local artists and artisans, mostly from Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and has a juried art competition during the summer months. We are often quite impressed with the quality of the works exhibited. (All of the works are available for purchase.) The staff is knowledgeable and friendly -- there is no pressure to buy -- and the Barn in fact feels more like a museum than a retail gallery (it is a non-profit), except there is no permanent collection. We always feel welcome to visit and browse without any obligation to purchase. The Barn also hosts many workshops and seminars by local artists -- perfect for a quiet summer's eve!

I was wearing a backpack so maybe she thought I was going to steal? Perhaps she should just get cameras instead of making her shoppers so uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, I cannot give negative stars. We were visiting Ogunquit today. I was so impressed by…read morethis quaint town It is such a sweet and charming town. The people were so lovely that I was lulled into sense peaceful enjoyment...BUT, as I entered this store with my service dog, who is wearing her clearly marked service vest, the owner comes from around the corner. As she comes toward me, so does her aggressive dog. She looks at my dog and her service vest and says "she needs to wait outside, my dog is very aggressive and doesn't like other dogs...".I told that no, my dog can't "just wait outside, she needs stay with me". She looked expectantly at me, and I certainly do not want to be where I am not wanted. I said that my service dog and I can both outside, she said "yes, that would be best". I was stunned. Could I have made a big stink and told her what she was doing was against the law? Absolutely, and I will definitely do that when the person seems to truly be uneducated about the rights and responsibilities service dogs. This was definitely not that we were inconvenient to her in her store, and she wanted us out plain and simple. The owner was rude and dismissive. She is definitely not the embodiment of my experience in Olgunquit thankfully I wish this merchant education and enlightenment.

Two of my sisters recently vacayed in Puerto Rico and gifted my husband with some souvenirs. Since…read morewe stayed in Ogunquit for a couple of days in Aug. '21, my husband wanted to pay it forward with a gift. You'll find T-shirt and gift shops here in town- but what you won't get are tacky, cookie-cutter, souvenirs. Ogunquit, is nothing like that. Away from super-busy Shore Rd, Jack Duford's Hutchins House Arts is located on the opposite end in Perkins Cove. My husband is a Navy man so he was all smieyes when he first noticed the Maritime items and model boats by the window on our way to breakfast a few feet away. Not only will you find Jack Duford's own simple yet stunning seascape and spectacular sailing photographs here, but there's also a local artist collective who share the same Maritime passion, showcase their paintings and sell some home related items also under one roof. The photographs and fine art images here are unique. Service was great from Jack and was kind to bubble-wrap the frames my husband picked out for my two sisters. Paying $100 for both frames may seem like a lot, but whether they're for us or my sisters in this case, the images will last a lifetime.

It was honestly hard to pick. There is lots of room in each room to really study the art despite the amount of people there. The view of the ocean as you walk in is its own beautiful painting. Outside they have beautiful gardens as well as the ocean view which had a nice breeze while we were there. There is a gift shop that had a nice sample of beautiful items. Plenty of parking with a complimentary post card. Saw kids also enjoying the art too . Plenty outside to see as well.

This year I went back with my children -- it's not huge and overwhelming and kids absolutely loved it. Ladies that work here were so kind and thoughtful to my kids -- they really help nurture young artists' minds. They even gave us little goodie bags with various arts supplies that my children loved. Wonderful little gem! Can't wait to return!

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.
