About Us

ArtWaves is a 501c3 non-profit community arts center dedicated to making creativity accessible to all. Located on Mount Desert Island, we offer a welcoming space where artists of all ages and skill levels can explore, learn, and connect through the arts.

Through dynamic workshops, classes, and exhibitions, we provide opportunities for hands-on learning in painting, printmaking, fiber arts, mixed media, and more. Our programs are designed to inspire self-expression, foster collaboration, and support lifelong engagement in the arts.

Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or refining your craft, ArtWaves is a place to grow, create, and be part of a thriving artistic community. Join us in celebrating the power of art to inspire, connect, and transform.
