Art of the Isle has been located inside of the Islesboro Community Center on Islesboro, ME since 2011.
It features the work of over 30 island artists and provides the community a place to purchase local, hand-crafted products from artists who live on the island for at least part of the year.
The gift shop operates on the cooperative model where artists share the time required to cover the shop during open hours. Artists’ work is consigned to the shop and, in addition to time, artists donate twenty percent of the item’s sale price to support the Islesboro Community Center.
