The Maine Art Gallery, at 15 Warren St. in Wiscasset, kicks off its 2025 season with the annual show of diverse and creative art by local students.

Wiscasset Elementary art teacher Elizabeth Proffetty and Middle/High art teacher Shalimar Chassé have curated a lively exhibit of over 100 examples of work in a wide variety of mediums including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, crafts, mixed media, and printmaking.
