Strolling Old Port amidst Sunday crowds, drizzled on, I ducked into the Art Gallery. Quiet yet inviting, it housed Maine artists in well lit rooms. I turned the corner and BAM...face to face with one of my, if not my favorite Maine born painter, Eric Hopkins. A wall sized oil...I have followed him since the 90's...truly a museum treasure. Somewhat confused, I asked the museum manager, Emma, how a Hopkins is right here in front of me. Hopkins uses this gallery. She shared her Hopkins stories, listened to mine, then showed me his water colors. A charming, well informed young lady, she absolutely made my week! I highly suggest you take the time to visit this little gem, and ask for Emma! Btw, I heard a family planning their next gallery visit on the street, and I pointed them to my new favorite.

I visit this place at least once a month just to check out the new stuff. They have incredible artists that come through there all the time and it's like a treasure trove of delightful things to look at. Though I am poor and probably will never buy anything, the customer service is delightful and I can dream about becoming a collector one day. Perhaps this will be the place where I buy my first piece because they always have great art.

Also stopped in here on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised. The current exhibit was beautiful and the young lady (I should have written their name down after) there was so welcoming and knowledgeable. The pieces had QR codes to let you learn more about the piece, the artist, and their other works. Some QR codes even promoted a voice description of the artists' take on the piece.

Wonderful gallery in an amazing space in downtown Portland. Had a nice chat with Emma, a knowledgeable young woman who was managing the space that day. They have great art from some of the most prominent Maine artists.

Stopped in on a whim and was glad I did. I was able to see a lot of local artists' work and personally I was more engaged here than at the Portland Art Museum. The space is really nice and welcoming, it can definitely accommodate a lot of work if it wants to! Emma, who was working the desk that day was really knowledgeable about the artists on display and the Portland art scene in general. Always good to have somebody enthusiastic about art working at a gallery, right? Duh. Definitely stop in if you're visiting Portland. Or if you live here/there.

Portland Art Gallery is a gorgeous gallery space. As one of their artists, I appreciate how hard the knowledgeable staff works to create a dynamic exhibition space. I love that they have a large computer monitor of all of the additional inventory not currently hanging and can easily pull out additional work of favored artists to show clients. It's always a treat to see art in this very beautiful space!

Portland Art Gallery is the most beautiful spacious gallery representing many of Maine's most prolific artists. If you didn't know you were in Maine, you would think that you were in Soho. The staff are efficient and a pleasure to work with, and the first Thursday art openings are always stimulating and fun. Portland Art Gallery is a pleasure to do business with!

It was love at first sight when i stepped into Portland Art Gallery! It's a beautiful gallery space and I was greeted by a lovely woman who told me about the gallery and it's mission. It was clear to me that PAG is dedicated to working hard to support their artists and the arts.As an artist I appreciate the beautiful space, how well the art is hung, and most importantly the quality of the art.I've been "with" the gallery ever since and am grateful to the owner and highly competent staff. I encourage you to stop in for a visit whenever you're in Old Port!
