Visit a Local Art Gallery
The Boothbay Harbor region is home to incredibly talented artists, many of whom are inspired by Midcoast Maine’s nature. Discover some of these works of art at galleries in Maine. Studio 53 Fine Art Gallery houses the work of several artists from the region, while Joy to the Wind Gallery showcases the landscapes and seascapes from John and Lynne Seitzer. Another excellent spot to explore is the Boothbay Region Art Foundation, which represents over 150 artists and members.
Participating in the First Friday Art Tour can add even more fun to your art gallery visits. Taking place on the first Friday of the month from June through October, this event features participating galleries showcasing new work, offering studio tours or live demonstrations, and holding open houses. For updates on participating galleries, check out the Boothbay Register/Wiscasset Newspaper the week of the event.

You don’t have to purchase someone else’s work to remember your trip. Countless guests have been inspired by the views right at our East Boothbay resort. Relax out on the beach and sketch the picturesque water views, or take pictures of the sunset or sunrise from the pier. Your room’s private balcony is the perfect place to put pen to paper and write your next novel.
It’s not just guests who are inspired by the scenery around them. Jayshree Patel, one of the innkeepers, wrote a children’s nature book titled One Drop, Endless Ripples. Purchase a copy at our gift shop, which she can personalize and sign, and let the book inspire you and your kids to explore the natural wonders of our shoreline on your vacation.
Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates about special workshops and events we plan to host with local artists. We will also be featuring local and guest artwork and photography in our gift shop.
