Maine has a long history of inspiring artists. The
light, the scenery, the energy of the coast, the fields, the mountains,
the lakes, the wildlife and flora all find their way into the psyche of
artists – Maineiacs and ‘from away’.
Freeport Square is a gallery dedicated to the concept of
helping Maine artists have access to Main Street, Freeport commerce.
Come visit to experience real Maine art - art that is
inspired and inspirational. We have art that is sophisticated and art
that is charming, new art forms and art that has been a mainstay since
artists such as Homer and his cohorts discovered the light and scenery,
seagulls and lighthouses of Maine. The Wyeth family, Hopper, Indiana and
more – famous and infamous have made art in Maine. The tradition of art
being made in Maine is legendary and ongoing. The quality of original
Maine art stands out. We choose art that reflects the Maine
sensibility.
Appreciators and collectors have been as active as
artists during the same span of time. We are here for collectors – be it
art to be shown in a cabin or a castle. We showcase a large range of
works. A collector can see the energy different works brought together
can bring about. A decorator can find an array of work to pick from. A
tourist can find a piece of Maine to take home.
Our 4400 square foot gallery allows us the luxury of
bringing in the work of new or emerging artists. This allows us to
include more contemporary works as well as old standbys.
Part of our philosophy is that visitors and artists
alike come in an array of possibilities – we offer a range of options
for purchase of original art. Come visit and check it out!
Freeport Square is at 140 Main Street (U.S. Route One)
in downtown Freeport. We are 1˝ blocks north of LLBean, across from
Freeport Post Office.
