Surf Point Foundation provides time, space and support for the visual arts community to think, connect and create. They offer three-week, live-work residencies to nominated artists and art professionals throughout the year in a boldy Modernist home in the coast of York. The program was founded by local arts patron Mary-Leigh Smart and artist Beverly Hallam.
The George Marshall Store Gallery provides dedicated exhibition space to emerging and mid-career artists from Maine and New England. Gallery programming is driven by a commitment to support and advance the careers of regional creators. GMSG was founded in 1996 by curator Mary Harding. After her retirement, the gallery reopened in 2021 as a new business with the same iconic name. Now under the direction of Kate Rasche, GMSG continues to deliver quality contemporary art from its historic home on the York River.
