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 and makers who live on the island for at least part of the year.
The gift shop operates on the cooperative model where artists and makers share the time required to cover the shop during open hours. Products are consigned to the shop and twenty percent of each sale supports the Islesboro Community Center.
