Learning and experiencing art is what we at Artsworth do. By providing unique workshops to our community members, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults, we are able to open the doors to creativity and show all who wish to learn about the beauty of crafting high quality work with your hands and heart. Workshops are held at 25 Pine Street and range from learning about how to manipulate molten glass to how to solder metal to how to sculpt out of clay or fiber. Our goal is to remain open to suggestions and ideas of how to meet the interests and needs of our community by providing a space for all teachers to share their craft with students of all ages. We hope that if you have a great idea that you wish to share with others, that you will come to Artsworth, share our space and share with us. Below you will find a list of current offerings: check back as our list is always changing! Teach a workshop!

    This event is a co-production between Artsworth and the MCA.OVERVIEW

    This event provides an opportunity for the public and fellow statewide artists to purchase studio supplies, materials and equipment, as well as seconds (final products not quite right for full price retail or wholesale shows and stores) directly from Maine artists. We are now hosting this event every other year between Portland, and Ellsworth, Maine. See details from the Portland event in 2019.

    An indoor/outdoor Maine Art and Craft Seconds & Supplies Sale will be held Saturday May 30, 2020 at Artsworth in Ellsworth, Maine, 9-3pm.
