2024 COMMUNITY EFFORT
Each year, as part of our ongoing community effort, the Gallery at Somes Sound raises money for non-profit organizations who align themselves with our mission: A long-standing commitment to educate, stimulate and encourage others through fine art and visual culture.
For the 2024 Season, our goal is to raise money for Maine Seacoast Mission. Since 1905, the Seacoast Mission has been committed to the people of Maine’s outer islands and Downeast coastal communities. Their experienced, caring staff live and work in those communities. Together, they offer healthcare, education, food, shelter, and spiritual support by land and by sea.
ONGOING COMMUNITY EFFORTS
The Gallery at Somes Sound has been a proud sponsor, collaborating with Friends of Acadia on various programs and events, currently serving on their Team of Business Advisors.
In 1986 Friends of Acadia founders envisioned a membership-based and volunteer-powered organization that would translate their love for Acadia into tangible good for the park. For more than three decades, that vision has guided their work—from modest early volunteer projects and small equipment donations, to major achievements such as Acadia Trails Forever, establishing the nation’s first endowed trail system.
ABOUT ACADIA NATIONAL PARK: Protecting more than 47,000 acres on two islands and a mainland peninsula on the rugged coast of Maine, Acadia National Park is a jewel of granite mountains, filigreed coastlines, unique cultural resources, dazzling night skies, and precious communities of plant and animal life. Drawing more than 3.5 million visitors each year, Acadia is one of the ten most popular national parks in the US. It is also one of the smallest and most vulnerable.
