Submit something you created at the Gilley for this year's show by emailing Director of Engagement Melinda Rice-Schoon at mel@wendellgilleymuseum.org or by calling 207-244-7555. Please let us know by Thursday, Dec. 11. We need your name, the name of your artpiece, and the material it’s made of. The Museum is closed to the public Mondays-Thursdays right now, but staff is on site and working, so ring the bell if you come by.

Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.

We will have a special one-day-only exhibit of art created at the Gilley in 2024, everything from bird drawings by third-graders to bird carvings by long-time carvers.

Free and open to all. No registration required; just drop by!

The works in this exhibition were created with different materials and methods; each creator has a distinct point of view. But a current connects them-flowing through the glass and paint and canvas-to show nature as it was experienced by each of the seven artists: Kerry Eaton; Rob Finn; Kaitlyn Miller; Mischa Ostberg; Linda Perrin; Leeann Rhoades; and Shannon Westphal.
