“This gallery was absolutely lovely and has a diverse selection of amazing pieces. The owner, Jen, was so knowledgeable about all of the artists and her passion was palpable. Highly recommend stopping in during your next visit to Portland!”
“I loved visiting this store in Freeport! There are 5 different Abacus locations and this one is probably my favorite. It's a wonderful store to find unique gifts and home decor at a reasonable price. The employees at this location are very kind and helpful. They knew a lot about the items in the store and anything they were unsure of they found more information for me. The building itself is beautifully designed and a staple of Freeport history. My only concern was that my older mother had a difficult time getting up the large concrete stairs because there's no handicap-friendly entrance. However, our experience inside Abacus was wonderful. We will be back closer to Christmas time to stock up for Christmas!”
“Fantastic Maine Gallery! Great exhibit and permanent collection. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable (sales person). We came as an art class of adult wood block printers(4) and they allowed us to explore and ask questions :)”
“Cove Street Arts showcase a wide variety of artists. There are paintings, photography, and sculpture. I love the large space where guests can walk around to view the artists' work. There are restrooms.”

“Outstanding contemporary art beautifully displayed, with knowledgeable staff. Whether you are seeking serious art for your home or office, or just want a brief exposure to the work of some leading current artists, this is the place to go.”
“Shop owners were really great. I ended up having to take my jacket back because it was a little too tight for me but they were understanding and helped me out. I really liked the stuff the brand had designed themselves and thought the prices were pretty fair for what you're getting. Would love to come back sometime ?”

“RWS is one of my favorite places. Kate, the owner, welcomes collaboration, creativity, and community. She understands that being an artist isn't just about creating, it's also about connecting with a community of people who can help you bring your art to the public (and make money!) With over 50 artists in house at Running With Scissors, there is always someone interesting walking around and something fresh and new to see. Keep up the great work, RWS! ~Abbie McGilvery”

“Fantastic art and working studio. George is so fun to talk with and it’s great to hear the stories behind his paintings and posters! I look forward to coming back.”
“I saw a metal sculpture on their website that was out of stock. I contacted the stores directly to see if they had any in stock, I wanted to purchase 2 for Christmas gifts. Nicholas from the Portland location, assisted me and he was wonderful! They didn’t have any in stock but he offered to contact the company to order it for me. Nicholas ordered them and he shipped them to me so I could have them in time for Christmas. Incredible customer service by the staff, I also talked to others employed at this location. I cannot say enough about Abacus Gallery! Thank you for helping me get one
of a kind Christmas gift for each of my nephews!”
“The quality & craftsmanship of the work done here is incredible. I’ve brought numerous pieces to them over the years, and every time I’m wildly impressed by the finished product. The skill & attention to detail that goes into their work is truly unmatched. If you have any kind of framing project you need done, look no further, THIS IS THE SPOT! Highly, highly recommend The Village Framer.”
