Located in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, we give our visitors the exciting opportunity to collect these unique items of rare cultural character and beauty.

Chong and Judi Lim anchor the gallery with their fine embossed paper imagery. The emphasis is on clean lines and delicate detail, while catching the beauty surrounding Bar Harbor.

Her husband Richard Hill, fabricates clocks with enamel faces depicting a classic Mount Desert Island view and shows his ever changing sculptural explorations.

Margaret Bundy’s years as a fiber artist prepared her to bring the highest quality collection of Maine made wearable fiber art to a curated display of fine handwoven items, tapestry bags, felted shawls, hand painted silk scarves and flattering up-cycled tunics. 

Linda Perrin of Atlantic Art Glass exhibits her own regionally inspired hand blown decorative glass work and distinctively innovative blown glass bead jewelry. Ocean inspired vases, drinking glasses, paperweights and handmade cane bead jewelry are just a few things you will find in her collection.
