The Messler Gallery

 

The mission of the Messler Gallery is to advance wood craftsmanship as a vibrant medium of expression. As an educational forum, the gallery enables students and the public to view work by faculty and other accomplished woodworkers firsthand; it hosts public lectures by instructors and visiting artists; and it offers exhibition experience to students and Studio Fellows.

As the only venue in Maine dedicated to the year-round exhibition of studio furniture and wood art, the Messler Gallery provides much-needed exposure for regional furniture makers, turners, and carvers.

The Messler Gallery also serves a national audience through juried competitions, invitational exhibitions, and traveling shows.

 

We invite you to visit the Messler Gallery Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, and Saturdays from 10am-4pm.

The mission of the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship is to provide the best possible education for people who want to design and build functional, beautiful, and expressive work out of wood to the highest standard of craftsmanship. At the heart of the Center's mission is the belief that design and craftsmanship are deeply meaningful expressions of the human spirit. They contribute to individual fulfillment and, by extension, to the advancement of society.

 

Our programs are for novice, intermediate, and advanced woodworkers who seek an inspiring learning experience in a supportive environment.
