FINE ART OF MAINE IN DOWNTOWN MILLINOCKET
|
The North Light Gallery opened in July of 2005 to showcase the works of
artists who paint, draw and sculpt fine art of the interior of Maine. Situated at
the intersection of Route 11 and Penobscot Avenue in downtown Millinocket,
Maine, the town that was built by the paper companies at the beginning of the
20th Century, North Light Gallery is also on a direct route to Baxter State
Park and Mount Katahdin, the northernmost point of the Appalachian Trail.
James Fitzgerald, Marsden Hartley, Frederick Edwin Church, Carl Sprinchorn
and George Hallowell are but a few of the
names of artists who have been inspired by this landscape for over a
century. The North Light Gallery was founded with the purpose of fostering
appreciation for the artists who are inspired to lend their talents to the
representation of the lakes, rivers, mountains and woods of the beautiful Maine interior.
Marsha Donahue, artist and founder of the North Light Gallery, is a native
of central Maine. To Marsha, after 25 years experience in the gallery business
both in Washington, DC, where she worked for Lunn Gallery and Portland,
Maine, where she managed Bayview Gallery and worked as Assistant Director of
Greenhut Galleries, returning to her roots in central Maine and showcasing the
art of the region is a long-awaited labor of love. Together with her husband,
Wayne Curlew, a contractor of over 30 years experience, the North Light
Gallery was able to become a reality.
Open year round from 10-6, Monday through Saturday , and always open
by appointment, please stop in and view firsthand the works of
extraordinary beauty artists create in the interior of Maine. Also,
