The Maine Art Gallery is a non-profit organization, located in the Old Academy building, in Wiscasset. The gallery, part of the vibrant 'Museum in the Streets' historic walking tour, will open for the 2015 season Memorial Day weekend.

The Maine Art Gallery is calling for artists to exhibit, and extending a special juried 2015 season opening offer. We’ve extended the month of June in both directions to include the Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends - the perfect excuse for two artist receptions.

The gallery, a bright and airy exhibition location, has 4- by 8-foot panels for a limited number of artists, and equivalent pedestal sculpture space as well. Interested artists should submit 3 images of their work via email attachment - jpeg format with a maximum size of 1,500 pixels on the longest side - to magwiscasset@gmail.com.

Submissions will be considered until May 10. Spaces will be filled on a first come first serve basis. Artists will be notified via email if their work has been selected.

Artists are responsible for their own installations and may hang as many works as they wish on the panel(s) leaving a six-inch minimum border at all edges.

Panel fees for the display period of May 23 through July 5 (two additional weeks over the normal display time period) are $150. Payment is by check upon acceptance.

Artists may lower their panel fee by scheduling days to be at the gallery, giving them the additional opportunity to meet visitors and speak about their work.

There is no commission for sales.

Accepted artists are requited to attend receptions, as their work will be publicized by the gallery.

The Maine Art Gallery is located at 15 Warren Street in downtown Wiscasset.
