Art is a part of the history of Audubon societies going back to John James Audubon’s “Birds of America.” At Maine Audubon, we are engaging with the creative community through exhibitions of Maine artists in the Gilsland Farm Gallery, workshops and classes that connect to the art, nature, and wildlife of Maine, and the return of our annual craft show, The Nature of Craft: Maine Artisans at Maine Audubon.
The Nature of Craft 2020 has been cancelled due to COVID-19 and public health concerns.
Gilsland Farm Gallery
All gallery shows have been postponed until the Visitor Center building is open to the public.
Located in the atrium of the Visitor Center at Gilsland Farm, The Gilsland Farm Gallery holds between 6 and 12 rotating exhibitions per year. We look for artists who have a connection to Maine, Maine Audubon and our mission, and/or nature and conservation. To submit your work for review, please email: art@maineaudubon.org.
