Saltwater Artists Gallery ... the Next 50 Years

    The 2017 art season for the Saltwater Artists Gallery ​came to a close in October, marking the end of the gallery's first 50 years on Maine's Pemaquid peninsula. The gallery is an integral part of  Maine's vibrant coastal arts community, and is ready to take on it's 51st year!

    I became a member of the gallery in 2016. As a co-operative gallery, all of our 25 members take turns "sitting the gallery" during the season - answering questions from our visitors, processing sales, answering the phone, and so on. This was a new experience for me, and I found that it not only gave me the opportunity to get more familiar with the work of my fellow artists, but it was also a great way to get to know our customers. Some of the most consistent feedback from our customers had to do with the quality and variety of the work we were showing. Our members artists work in a wide range of media... photography, jewelry, painting (watercolor, acrylic,and oil), pastels, wood turning, fabrics, glass, printmaking, and sculpture. Have included a few representative pix below -
