Downeast Maine Art Festivals 2015
Why have just one festival when you can have three? The Downeast Maine Arts Festivals consist of three art fairs:
- Northeast Acadian HarborFest August 1-2
- Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival August 7-9 AND September 11-13
Organized by artist Marc Fink, these events feature juried artists from all over the US and Canada and are scheduled around Mt Desert Island’s peak tourist season.
The Northeast Acadian Harborfest is located on the Northeast harbor marina waterfront and will be even bigger and better this year. The first Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival will be held at the Bar Harbor Inn’s property on the waterfront, and, because it is so popular, a second edition will be held in September.
Some of this year’s artists include painter Bette Anne Wygant; Rosemarie Mazzei, a fused glass tableware artist; felt artist Gayle Hallin; chainmaille jeweler Jana Margeson; photographer Kathy Hally; Diane Kaylor, collage creator; sculptor Jim Flood; and more.
Maps and directions can be found at www.marcfink.com/shows, and, if you are staying the night, be sure to book a room soon!
