The Messler Gallery

The purpose of the Messler Gallery is, first and foremost, educational. It provides opportunities for students and the public to view work by faculty and other professional furniture makers firsthand; it serves as a venue for public lectures by faculty and visiting artists; and it offers students exhibition experience through display of their own work. In addition, as the only venue in Maine dedicated to the year-round exhibition of handcrafted furniture and fine woodworking, the Messler Gallery provides much-needed exposure for regional furniture makers.

The Messler Gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. and Saturday from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
