Cafe de Artistes

a round up of Maine art news, openings, shows + virtual exhibitions

May 6, 2022

Dear art loving friends,

The 2022 Maine Gallery + Studio Guide is on press in Ottawa and will be distributed statewide later this month. It is beautiful, stylish and shows an amazing world of Maine art. I am especially pleased with the exceptional cover by David Driskol.

Our website has just had a makeover that is getting a lot of love. I have not had the chance to update the “Galleries + Studios” section. Please don’t email asking why yours has not been updated! Everything will be up to date soon. Here is the link – check it out and let me know what you think.

I am going to keep my intro short. The May Cafe des Artistes is massive, inspiring, and shows real momentum going into what I believe will be an outstanding season. Are we ready? The drumbeat starts now.
