The opening reception for Tapestry | THE NEW WAVE was a great success! Over 150 people joined us to celebrate the opening of the largest tapestry exhibition ever held in the state of Maine. We were pleased to have 10 of the 11 weavers in attendance at the opening.
The exhibition runs until August 31. Open Tues-Sat, 11 am to 4 pm.

We are very excited to have received the juried tapestry selections by curators Priscilla May Alden and Barbara Burns. Featuring 30+ tapestries by New England’s finest weavers, this invitational event will kick-off on August 6 with an opening reception on Friday August 9 from 5 to 7 pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artists and learn more about the ancient, traditional and contemporary methods of weaving.
The tapestries will be displayed against the warm backdrop of Down East Gallery’s 1904 post and beam barn. To purchase a tapestry, please visit or contact the gallery.
