The Monson Arts Gallery celebrates the creative heritage of Maine by hosting a wide variety of exhibitions featuring local artists, past and present. Presenting 3 to 4 shows a year, the gallery is a space to explore the artistic works connected to Monson Arts programs including local high schools and Maine colleges as well as featured professional artists like Berenice Abbott and Alan Bray. Additionally, the gallery has featured Monson historical shows and Maine Highland open calls as well as traditional Wabanaki indigenous art.
We look forward to seeing you visit this vibrant, eclectic show space that celebrates the expressive talents of those drawn to make and create in the Maine North Woods.
