The Bowdoinham Guild of Artisans is a collection of practicing artists and artisans who live and work in the Bowdoinham area. The group started with five people in 2004 and has grown to a diverse membership of twenty which includes artists, photographers, potters, woodworkers, fiber artists, jewelers, and other artisans. For over fifteen years, the group has hosted a Holiday Show and Sale at the Bowdoinham Town Hall during the first weekend in December. This has become the anchor for a town-wide celebration of events kicking off the holiday season. In recent years, the Guild has presented shows at the Merrymeeting Arts Center, participated in local art walks, and had a booth at the Celebrate Bowdoinham event. Individual artists actively market their work through a variety of venues.
The current mission of the Bowdoinham Guild of Artisans is to support and encourage Bowdoinham artisans by providing a means for them to collaborate, exhibit, and sell their work and to foster the value of art and hand crafted works.
