Published Description
This intimate, townhouse gallery is situated across from the Portland Museum of Art's McLellan House. Since it's inception in 1992 the June Fitzpatrick Gallery at High Street has established a strong reputation as a leader in Maine's contemporary art arena.
Critics and arts commentators have described the gallery as "A principal force for Maine connected Art" (Maine Sunday Telegram) and "One of the best galleries for contemporary art north of Boston" (Maine Times). The gallery features significant contemporary artists as well as carefully selected newcomers.

Description:
A commercial gallery that mostly shows artist who have been educated in the area. The work shows dedication but varies in levels of intellectual merit. Most of the artists who show here are more interested in process, materials and craft.
