2011 Yarmouth Art Festival was a great success!
Thank you to artists and art lovers who made the 3rd annual Yarmouth Art Festival a success on many levels.

The 2011 event was very successful. A total of 156 works, from 78 Maine artists, were on display, and 45 pieces were sold, at prices ranging from $60 to $500.
Entry fees and sale commissions support St. Bart's local community services, such as the St. Bart's food pantry and St. Elizabeth's Essentials Pantry in Portland.
The Yarmouth Art Festival is a juried exhibition. Artists from across Maine submitted works for consideration. Jurors for 2011 were Elizabeth Moss, owner of Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth; Anne Haas, art librarian at Bowdoin College in Brunswick; and Suzanne Harden, a noted Yarmouth artist currently represented by Bayview Galleries in Brunswick.
Rules, including selection process, fees and commissions, can be found at the "Rules" link on this page.
The 2010 event was very successful. A total of 147 works, from 74 Maine artists, were on display, and 45 pieces were sold, at prices ranging from $75 to $700.

In terms of sales, again very successful. Buyers purchased 45 pieces totalling over $12,000. (That's more than double the sales of the inaugural 2009 show.) The 30 percent commission goes to support local community services.
