Maine has a long standing history of producing artists of great diversity. Perhaps its the long winter months that gives us plenty of time to reflect upon our thoughts.

Portland is the Arts Center of the State and has many great galleries, museums and a thriving arts community. Congress Street in Portland is known as the "Arts District" and is home to many galleries and artist work space.
