 For the 16th consecutive year, we open our doors and welcome you to an event full of fiery energy, community and creativity. FireGathering 2025 is a day to celebrate the winter solstice like an artist!!  At 25 Pine St., Ellsworth, ME. At this annual event we share our love of  the fire arts with you as we do demonstrations of glassblowing, blacksmithing, enameling, and torch-working. This open studio event is our way of saying “hey neighbor, come gather around our hearth!  Let’s enjoy community and creativity together as we beat back the cold and dark of approaching winter.” Come warm yourself by our fires and welcome the winter with us.

Then at sunset (4:20pm) gather for a special group glass making tradition!

Cutting his teeth as the manager of the iconic Saratoga Springs listening room Caffe Lena, Reese Fulmer has emerged “with a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling and a healthy dose of irony.” (Viv Nesbitt, Art of the Song) The 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Thomas Edison Music Awards, Reese and his band have become one of the fastest-rising groups in upstate NY with expansive live albums highlighting a reputation for compelling performances. With a rotating cast of top players, a broad and dynamic body of work, and a refusal to set anything in stone, their shows are always fresh, full of joy, and hard to describe. Think Wilco with hints of Prine and Zappa.

Doors at 6:30pm, Music at 630. $20 suggested donations support the artists and Artsworth. Please RSVP to artsworthstudios@gmail.com. See you there!
