Maine's Capital Area

On Friday, December 2 from 5:30–8:00pm, ArtWalk Gardiner will showcase original art and hand-crafted items created by dozens of area artists. Neighbors, friends and merchants in the greater Gardiner community join in celebrating the arts and local vitality as part of Gardiner’s Days of Light celebration.

Hundreds of unique works from paintings, drawings, fine art prints and photography to textiles, sculpture, jewelry and ceramics will be available for sale in artists' studios, galleries, shops, and other venues throughout Gardiner’s beautiful historic downtown. Individuals and artist groups include the Artdogs, Circling the Square Fine Art Press, and SpinOff Studio.

ArtWalk Gardiner also includes studio tours, artists’ demonstrations, children’s activities, refreshments, and live music.

First launched in 2005 by Artdogs™ studios and a handful of other area artists, the mission of ArtWalk Gardiner is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts, to encourage interaction with local artists and the public, and to nurture a supportive network that also enhances the local economy. Since its inception, ArtWalk Gardiner has drawn hundreds of appreciative visitors to Water Street to enjoy these festive evenings of art and good cheer.

ArtWalk Gardiner is sponsored and supported by many local businesses, including those that will be hosting artists for the evening. We hope you will join us for this lively celebration of art in our community. For more information, please email or find us on Facebook.

Artwalk Gardiner's mission is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts, to encourage interaction and familiarity amongst local artists and the general public, to provide artists with a supportive network and to foster the creative economy through regular art exhibitions in downtown.
