About Arts in the barn

Cushing Historical Society's Arts In The Barn

Cushing is a small town in Maine that has a giant art legacy. Andrew Wyeth and his family have spent many summers here, and just down the street from the Barn is the Olson House where Andrew painted "Christina's World" in 1948. Today, there are many artists of all media residing and creating in Cushing, being inspired by its natural beauty and deep sense of place. The Historical Society continues to maintain and preserves artifacts and has conducted presentations depicting the life and culture of this area. In addition to the Barn, they also maintain and assemble in the nearby Meeting House and South Cushing Church for educational and entertainment purposes.

The Barn

The Barn is used as a theatre, concert hall, and gallery space for community events. It has a floor space of 30 feet by 40 feet and has handicapped access and nearby plumbing. The Barn does NOT have a kitchen or indoor plumbing, so no wedding receptions or events that require food service would be possible there. Shows are conducted during the summer months, as there is no insulation in the barn also. Art exhibits are generally from Friday evenings with an opening celebration, then Saturday and Sunday the shows are open during the daylight hours. The artists are on hand to answer questions and meet the general public, and sometimes will give a workshop in art during their show. For more information, email: cushingaitb@gmail.com. 

The Barn address is 17 Hathorne Point Road, Cushing, Maine 04563.

"Cushing Light", oil on panel, by Karin Strong

"Midcoast Plein Air", group show, August 18th- 20th, 2023

 The Midcoast Plein Air Painters formed in  2020 when COVID made indoor activities problematic. They started meeting outside to keep painting together, sharpen their skills and encourage each other. All the works in this show started outside, but may or may not have been finished inside. The fun of painting together is the glue for this show!

Our final show last year was a hit, and we had 27 artists show work of all styles and media.

"Cushing Creations", a community show, August 25th- 27th, 2023

 Our closing show for the  season will be with a bang! An exhibit of our community members of all shapes and sizes, all media, styles and form. For a prospectus, email: cushingaitb@gmail.com.

Are you interested in having an event in the Barn?

 The Barn is a great place for all kinds of events. The building is rustic and quiant, it  has track lighting that give art shows and lectures a casual but well lit exhibition space.  However, since it does not have plumbing or a proper kitchen, we cannot have wedding receptions or events that require a kitchen.  It is available for $250 a weekend as a tax deductible donation to the Cushing Historical Society.  Contact: cushingaitb@gmail.com
