Mission Statement and Philosophy

Upcountry Arists, a non-profit organization, was formed in 1986 to encourage, support, educate artists, and develop public awareness of the arts in Western Maine. Our members represent a variety of artistic media

We hold quarterly meetings at which various programs such as marketing the arts, panel discussions, art critiques and workshops are held.

We keep our members informed of current shows, gallery openings and other art related opportunities through our monthly newsletter.

Upcountry Artists manages the annual H. K. Smith Scholorship. This is awarded to an aspiring artist from the area high school graduating classes. Applicants must present a portfolio of their artwork, a written statement of what art means to them, and proof of acceptance at a college/school of art, as well as a recommendation from their art teacher. The applications are then juried by no less than three of the organizations artists.

We organize our annual Sugarloaf Art and Craft Show at the Base Lodge at Sugarloaf Mountain USA over Homecoming/Columbus Day weekend.

Please feel welcome to join us as a member, in fostering the arts here in the upcountry.
