HistoryIn 1991, John Spain took a trip to Kennebunkport. Working at a small gallery in New York City, he was interested in the oceanside artwork of Kennebunkport. A small gallery was going out of business. Hmm? After a talk with the owner, he said goodbye & headed home to his job and life in New York. His mind, and a bit of his heart, was still in Kennebunkport. Driving back, John made a deal with himself. He'd offer up his life savings to the owner & her little coastal town. If she took it, it was meant to be. If she didn't, his world would go on as normal. Life from then on has been far from normal. In 1996, only five years later, we changed our name to Maine Art Paintings and Sculpture. Four years later, in 2000, we moved across the street to a newly designed building on 14 Western Ave. For 15 years, it is here you find John and his amazing staff, over forty artists with connections to Maine, and a perfect place to a leave a little piece of your own heart.SpecialtiesMaine Art Hill is home to four unique art destinations--The Gallery, Shows, The Grand, and Studios. The Gallery is open year-round and celebrating 30 years as one of Southern Maine's premier art gallery destinations. We proudly represent over 40 fine regional and Maine artists. Each artist has some connection to Maine whether they are from here, live here currently or are lucky enough to spend time here when they can. Several of our artists are known nationally and even worldwide, but have partnered with us for their Northeast representation. Shows, located in a historic home at 10 Chase Hill, is an intimate gallery setting for viewing original artwork with stunning natural light and a striking Wind Sculpture garden. Shows are scheduled June through September. The Grand is part of The Grand Hotel and features solo shows from some of our top artists June through September. Studios, our newest space, is located just steps away at 5 Chase Hill Rd. It is a collection of seven new galleries representing high-quality artists and artisans. Well-mannered pets are welcome on the grounds during regular business days. Dogs must be under their owner's control, leashed, and cleaned up after at all times.
