Art Quilts Maine / June 4 – July 2, 2021
This exhibit from Art Quilts Maine includes pieces from their 2020 challenge theme, “A New Twist to an Old Master”, as well as samples from a lesson on tessellations. For the “Inspired by the Classics” collection, artists selected classic masters from whom to draw inspiration for each piece. “Tessellation Explorations” is the result of a group lesson on tessellations – a pattern of shapes closely fitted together without gaps or overlapping.
The mission of Art Quilts Maine is to support members in their exploration of contemporary quilt art, to inspire creativity and individuality, and to promote the understanding, appreciation, and recognition of contemporary quilters in the state of Maine.

Our business is about building, what better investment than a library. Ted Crooker
The Crooker Gallery has been provided through the generosity of Harry C. Crooker & Sons general contractors. Foremost in sponsoring local projects, Harry C. Crooker and Sons has shown a consistent commitment to our community for many years.
Thanks to the Crooker family, hidden in plain sight inside the Topsham Public Library, is Topsham’s first public art gallery. This gallery, created to provide a place where art is accessible to everyone, is host to a diverse display of artistic expression throughout the year. We have seen wood carving, ceramics, photography, and painting. There has even been a display of exotic hats and Japanese kimonos. It is also the home to our annual judged art and photography exhibits: The Joy of Art and The Joy of the Lens.
