There are some changes in parking here on Herrick Road that are going to make it safer for everyone, especially for emergency services when they need to get through. The town has put up new signs this week and there is now no street parking on either side of Herrick Road near the Gilley.

There is still parking in front of the Museum and we are reserving three spots there for those who would benefit from a shorter walk to our front door; that leaves four more spots in the front lot. There is also a well-marked overflow lot across the street from the Gilley with 14 spots. Our friends at Harbor House are allowing us to use their Fitness Center parking lot at 38 Herrick Road.

We look forward to seeing you. If you have any questions, call us at 207-244-7555.

This exhibition celebrates the traditional relief printmaking of Maine artist Siri Beckman. Though she also paints in watercolors and oils, she is best known for wood engravings and woodcuts—carving images into carefully selected wood blocks using specialized tools before proofing, refining and printing each edition by hand. A single small block can take dozens of hours to complete, from the first cuts to the final signed print. This show includes more than 40 of her prints featuring birds and landscapes, and explores Siri's deep engagement with this process.

Join us for our monthly evening paint ‘n’ sip workshops with instructor Erika Elizabeth at the Gilley for a fun evening of learning and art. Students are guided step by step through the process of painting, with plenty of explanation and instruction along the way.

Each month has a different theme and inspiration-painting. For September, we’ll be a re-creating rock cairns in watecolor.

Sip on wine, tea or seltzer as part of this adults-only class, which is suitable for artists of all levels who are at least 21 years old. All materials and beverages provided.
