This is one of the most elegant and accommodating spaces I have ever seen a musical performance at! These guys think of it all!

Great selection from artists. The staff was very friendly. There's a vintage section downstairs.
Thank you for your feedback, Allison! We are small, young, and working hard to bring recognition and success to our member artists. Feedback of this sort is very important to us. Please tell a friend!

Stepping out of the cold, we were greeted with a warm welcome by a local artisan who makes gorgeous polymer clay earrings. She had unparalleled customer service, and took the time to give us a full tour of all the other incredible artists displaying their work. It was a beautifully curated store, filled with incredible work from Maine's' finest. Next time we come to visit, we're excited to stop by and see what new creations are waiting!

I agree with everything Jenny said so well. An amazing gathering of local talent in a cozy atmosphere. My sisters and I really enjoyed it. We will be back.
Thank you, Michelle! Sorry it is taken me so long to respond to you. We appreciate your review, and hope you have been able to come back since leaving it. We’ve had several new artists join us in the last year, all juried, all wonderful, and all really, excellent members of the local art scene.

I went in this store for the first time and will definitely be going back soon! They have an amazing collection of local art for sale: Fabric collages, felted landscapes, photographs, and paintings adorn the walls. Stained glass pieces hang from the windows, and ceramics and jewelry line the counters. Plus, the basement has some really nice antiques. So many wonderful goods, this is a must visit to find unique gifts or décor for your home!
Hi Jenny! We obviously don’t get out here to read and respond to our reviews anywhere near frequently enough! Sorry! :-) Thank you very much for this review. Hope you’ve been back many times since, and hope you’ve mentioned it to friends. We’ve had lots of new artists join over the last year and we think the store improves every month.

I am an artist member of the Lemont Block Collective located in Brunswick, Maine. The beautiful brick building sits on the corner of Main and Pleasant Streets. I have belonged to the collective for about six months. I make a mixture of contemporary and modern stained glass along with animals and objects. The Collective has many wonderful artists who make jewelry, pottery, quality wooden craft items, fabric art, and have some really incredible painters. It is really nice to take a walk through the collective. The items change often to keep a fresh look. We also have great windows to hang my artwork in! I hope you come down to check out what a great place the gallery is. You will probably run into Cleo or Aaron, the owners of the collective and the building. They both are from Maine. They bought the Lemont Block building because Brunswick is so meaningful to them. They are both great individuals to work with and I feel very fortunate they made a space for me. One last thing, we, the artist are always sitting at the front desk. We love for you to ask us questions about our art. We looking forward to meeting all of our residents!
Thanks Deb, we're lucky to have such talented artists as yourself!

Small shop with lots of art (including textile art), antiques (you have to walk downstairs to see those), and sustainable items.
Thanks so much for checking out our little shop!
