About

The Wiscasset Bay Gallery started as a small, upstairs space on Front Street in Bath in 1985. One year later, we relocated to the village of Wiscasset, along the Sheepscot River. By 1997, the Gallery had expanded again to Main Street, Wiscasset in the historic Wawenock building. We are currently located at 75 Main Street. Our space includes two floors of exhibition galleries where we showcase fine American and European paintings from the 17th through 21st centuries, including works by William Trost Richards, Rockwell Kent, Jay Hall Connaway, S.P.R. Triscott, Charles Woodbury, Abraham Bogdanove, William Zorach and others.

Customers may purchase works of art directly from our website. For details, please check out our FAQ.

The Wiscasset Bay Gallery’s clientele includes a devoted customer base from the United States, Canada and Europe. We have also placed many fine works of art in corporate and museum collections across the country.

We hope you will stop by the gallery if you are visiting the coast of Maine. We are located along Route 1 only 45 minutes north of Portland and 15 minutes from Boothbay Harbor.
