Coastal Maine Art Workshops, Rockland,
Maine
For those of you who don’t know Rockland, it’s been
cited as one of the best “art destinations” in the country!
The six blocks that comprise Main Street (plus a few side streets!) house
great galleries,shops, restaurants,
The Farnsworth Museum and Wyeth Center, fun shopping and access to
the waterfront.
Rockland has a working harbor with breakwater and and lighthouse,
fishing vessels, lobster boats, a small
Coast Guard base, ferries to the offshore islands and pleasure craft
from rowboats to cruise ships!
Historic schooners offer sailing trips from a few hours to a week or
more, on a variety of vessels, large and small.
Rockland has a long history of shipping and fishing; it’s homes and
buildings reflect a mix of wealth and
working class and offer intriguing painting opportunities in
addition to its waterfront vistas. Many quaint,
coastal villages are within a ten to thirty minute drive. Famous
harbors such as Camden and Rockport are just
to the north. Acadia National Park is 2 hours away. Offshore
islands, including Monhegan, famous for its
resident artists, are accessible by ferry as well. We’ll make maps
for you to great painting sites!
