Downeast Gallery in Edgecomb  is hosting two concurrent exhibitions in July, running through Saturday, Aug. 4:  “Windswept” and “Morocco in Maine.”

“Windswept”  … Birds on the wing, grasses swaying in a field, a schooner heeling in blustery seas... “Windswept” features a collection of fine art paintings and sculptures that reflect the beauty and intensity of wind.

“Morocco In Maine” -  Featuring 30+ Moroccan rugs and runners!  Every few years, Boothbay artisans Diana Kerr and Kathleen Jones travel to North Africa to visit bazaars and tribal villages and collect one-of-a-kind handcrafted goods.  Our "Morocco in Maine" show will feature their 2018 collection of stunning Berber rugs, handwoven textiles, jewelry and artifacts. 

Downeast Gallery is located at 146 Boothbay Rd./Route 27, only one-half mile south of U.S. Route 1.  The gallery features paintings by award-winning artist Brad Betts, ASMA, as well as sculptures, woodwork, glassware, tapestries and ceramics by a curated selection of Maine’s finest artists.  With over 3,000 square feet of exhibition space, the gallery is located in a 1906 farmhouse and a 1904 post and beam barn, surrounded by a 35-acre farm with sculptures set amongst the gardens.
