Studios & Galleries
Arts & Culture
The Portland Museum of Art, Ogunquit Playhouse, and First Friday Art Walks — plus the small studios, independent boutiques, and antique galleries tucked through Southern Maine's downtowns and back roads, and a thriving indie music circuit.
There's an outsized arts scene here. The Portland Museum of Art and the Ogunquit Playhouse anchor it, but the heart of it lives in the small studios, independent boutiques, and antique galleries tucked through every downtown and back road in Southern Maine.
Museums & stages
Portland Museum of Art, Ogunquit Museum of American Art, the Ogunquit Playhouse, and a thriving theater and comedy scene in Portland's State Theatre and the Saco River Theatre.
Studios, boutiques & antiques
Working artist studios in Biddeford's mill district. Indie boutiques on Saco's Main Street. Antique galleries along Route 1 from Wells to Arundel. First Friday Art Walks in Portland keep the calendar moving.
Music
From Thompson's Point and the State Theatre down to small rooms in the Old Port and the pier stage at OOB, the indie music circuit is real and year-round.
