Tides Institute & Museum of Art
The permanent collection at this eclectic museum anchoring downtown Eastport incorporates nearly any media you can imagine, with an emphasis on coastal New England history, design, and architecture. You might find vintage photographs, wildlife art, beautiful 19th-century maps, Wabanaki basketry, or old (surprisingly fascinating) sardine labels from the region’s cannery days. Rotating exhibits throughout the summer skew towards contemporary painting and sculpture from Northeast artists. Check the online calendar for a list of events, including workshops with the artists who come to Eastport (from all across the world) for Tides’ summer residency (you may well run into them at the bar later).
