RECHARGE YOUR CREATIVE ENERGY

Be Part of Portland’s Artistic Revitalization

The magical fusion of visual and performance artistry with wide-open natural spaces makes Greater Portland a unique all-season destination for recharging your creative energy.

DIVERSITY FEEDS CREATIVITY, BUILDS AN ARTIST COMMUNITY Portland, Maine has long welcomed an international community, with New Americans coming from the Philippines, South Korea, Cambodia, Africa, Vietnam, India, China, and

PORTLAND’S DNA Look at that. That’s like the God Light. Artist, representative of Maine College of Art and Design (MECA&D), and Director of Artists at Work, Jessica Tomlinson, points to the window as she attempts to explain why artists flock and flourish here. And maybe that’s it. The way the rays gild the afternoon breeze with gold, cascade across the bobbing boats, and illuminate the rocky cliffs and tree-dusted mountains—there’s no doubt it inspires replication in art. And maybe the light upon this extraordinary landscape is the DNA of this city, and everything that follows—the art college, the artists’ community, the international draw, and the amalgamation of cultures—are just natural expressions of that deeply embedded, ancient quality. This port city, with its God-light and vast ocean views, expands the mind and opens the hearts of those lucky enough to experience it— igniting inner creativity and unbridled expression.

pocketed; it doesn’t sit on one street, or a few painted exterior walls, or even a district or borough of Portland. It weaves throughout the city itself, into Greater Portland, and is drawing national attention. Just this year, Ebenezer Akakpo, an artist and jewelry designer, designed a bus stop in Portland, Maine that won Best Bus Stop of the USA. Ebenezer now calls Portland home, but his Ghana roots bring a global perspective to his art. The unique bus stop installation intertwines traditional cultural symbols of hope and friendship and has helped put Portland on the map as an arts city.

beyond. Because art is all about individual expression, this influx of cultural diversity feeds the creative scene, fuels originality, and builds a strong artist community. The more artists connect with each other, the better they become, claims Daniel Minter, Co-Founder of Indigo Arts Alliance. And here, the artist connection is strong. As Greater Portland’s identity as a destination for arts and culture grows, it calls to people from all over to explore hidden art-centric gems across the region and ignite their own inner creator. And this experience isn’t

EXPLORING CREATIVITY So when you visit—any time of year—be sure to immerse yourself in artistry. Check out Creative Portland, a thorough resource for resident artists, visitors, and local events, and you’ll be rocked by the magnitude of offerings. ❱❱ Perhaps you’ll notice the murals across Portland, birthed from the Portland Mural Initiative. This artist-led movement brings art to public spaces and hosts neighborhood meals and artist talks with the intention of connecting artists to the local community. ❱❱ Join the festive atmosphere of First Friday Art Walks when Portland’s open galleries beckon to passersby and Congress Street brims with artisans and outdoor performers. ❱❱ Browse hand-crafted and Maine-inspired jewelry at Chart Metalworks, or visit the Alan Claude Gallery to pick up some colorful, dramatic graphic prints. Check out the latest exhibit at Elizabeth Moss Galleries and the artisan retail gallery at Maine Craft Portland. ❱❱ There’s no shortage of performance art here, either. If you’re into music, the Art Deco-style State Theatre and riverside venue at Thompson’s Point bring national headliners to town. Nearby Ogunquit Playhouse and Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick have been producing renowned musical theater for 90 and 64 years respectively! And if opera, ballet, or the symphony interests you, you’re in the right place. Once you’ve taken in enough inspiration and are bursting with your own imaginative ideas, visit Portland Museum of Art to get creative with their interactive workshops or schedule a paint night at Muse Paintbar. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF This flourishing seaside artist community is molding Portland’s identity, as it branches out from a seaside summer destination, into a year round art-infused cultural experience. When we reflect on why this small city is so advanced in the arts, we call out the light. We point to the rugged landscape hugged by glinting water, mention the collegiate influence, and point out the cultural diversity within Greater Portland. Maybe it’s all of these things. But when you come to visit Portland, infuse your trip with a touch of magical artistry, rekindle your own creative energy, and decide for yourself.

VISIT PORTLAND / 7

TO-DO LIST Maine’s largest metro area serves up the classic coast— lighthouses, lobsters, and surf crashing on the rocky shore—plus a vibrant arts scene, gourmet cuisine, and fabulous shopping and out door recreation. Here are our top recommendations for what to do on your visit.

UNCOVER THE PAST

Portland, with a consistent attention to landmark preservation, has kept a down-to earth charm and wears its history openly. Five centuries of historical impact have shaped Portland and its surrounding towns into a vibrant destination with deep-planted roots, from the Colonial-era through the wealth and opulence of the industrial age. Museum homes and maritime museums chronicle the emergence of the region from a trading and fishing settlement into one of the nation’s most active seaports. And despite the competing interests of non-marine-related development, Portland has kept its working waterfront a functioning port that welcomes visitors to witness one of the integral and thriving parts of the local economy. (More on pages 22–24 .)

HEAD TO SHORE Whether you are drawn to crashing surf on dramatic cliffs, lured by the lapping waves of expansive beaches, or hypnotized by the quiet tides of salt marshes, getting on or around the sea is a must in Greater Portland. Enjoy the ocean from land while dining at water front lobster shacks and restaurants, swimming in a cove, strolling along scenic oceanside trails, even reading a book from the comfort of a hotel balcony, beach, or deck with a moaning fog horn in the background. For a sea change in excitement, get out on the water for sailing, fishing, kayaking, whale watching, or island hopping. Special waterside festivities include tug boat races, tall-ship regattas, and a holiday parade of lights.

GO AFLOAT Let the breeze set you free, as you explore Casco Bay by sea. No experience needed as guided tours venture out to explore the fortified islands in Portland Harbor on kayaks or paddle boards. You can charter a sailboat or head out on a deep-sea fishing adventure to catch shark, halibut, and powerful bluefin tuna. Tour boats leave Portland’s waterfront to behold lighthouses from a sailor’s perspective, glide alongside seals relaxing on sun-soaked rocks, or dance on a festive party boat under the evening stars. Experience a working boat and haul sails or lobster traps with the crew. Or relax and take in the surrounding sea while enjoying food and wine pairings, or island hopping on America’s longest operating mailboat. ( More on pages 18–22, 24, 26 )

TASTE THE TOWN It’s easy to see why Portland keeps winning culinary accolades from authorities such as Bon Apétit —from the tried and true favorites to the newest sensations, the sheer number of restaurants and their crazy-good offerings have planted this region firmly on the culinary map. Maine has an abundance of authentic ingredients: fishermen haul fresh lobster and sea food to the docks every day, and organic farms and dairies support year-round farmers’ markets with locally raised meats and vegetables bursting with flavor. Enjoy views of Casco Bay from restaurants that line the harbor or soak up the ambiance of venues tucked away inside beautifully restored historic buildings. Of course try our succulent lobster with all the trimmings or stuffed in a toasted roll. (More on pages 26–35)

QUAFF A CRAFT Maine is at the forefront of the craft beverage boom and you can try a flight, local wine, or a spirit or creative mocktail at Greater Portland’s many bars and beverage brewers. Tasting rooms often have their own small plates or enticing food trucks to pair with favorite sips and suds. The region’s micro-size allows for ease of travel and ability to explore a surprising variety of local craft drinks in one outing; the East Bayside, Washington Avenue, and Riverside neighborhoods contain a dense concentration of breweries and distilleries, even a local kombuchery. Beer-themed bus and walking tours make indulging in the expansive selection of microbrews and local spirits thoroughly safe as well as educational and fun. (More on page 31)

SHOP FOR TREASURE With specialty shops for dog lovers, comic collectors, and those who love to cook (and eat!), you’ll be tempted to bring home several new purchases. Poke through shops and galleries lining the cobblestone streets of Portland’s Old Port section. Find everything under one roof at Maine’s largest mall in South Portland. Just 15 minutes north of Portland, the picturesque lanes of Freeport’s charming New England village are home to national outlets and local boutiques. Don’t be deterred if you get the late night shopping bug or lack some essential gear for the next day’s outdoor adventure—the flagship store of world famous outfitter L.L.Bean in Freeport is open 24 hours every day, year round. (More on pages 38–43)

SEE THE LIGHTS No less than six lighthouses line Portland Harbor to protect incoming ships from the area’s famously rocky coast. The iconic beacons of Greater Portland are each unique representations of nautical history. Whether fashioned after Greek temples, attached to private homes, or having the distinction of being the first light commissioned by the U.S. government, these classic structures evoke a romantic sense of the sea. Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth is one of the most picturesque cliff-side towers found anywhere, and its quintessential New England design makes it one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. (More on page 23)

BATHE IN NATURE Go 10 or 15 minutes in any direction from Portland and you’ll doubt you’re anywhere near Maine’s largest metro area. Both surrounding and right within Portland, parks and preserves—places of pure natural beauty—let you find tranquility and inspiration. In all seasons you can enjoy Maine’s great outdoors, from beachcombing to mountain biking, cross-country skiing to kayaking and paddle-boarding. With the ocean in our front yard and lakes, rivers, and mountains in easy reach, Greater Portland is a destination with as ready access to nature and wildlife as to the cultural

amenities of a vibrant urban center.

MEET THE MAKERS Maine has rich craft traditions and an inclusive craft community that make for a strong creative economy. At many annual festivals and street fairs you’ll find potters, fabric artists, knitters, wood workers, furniture makers, clothing designers and so many more creators of unique, hand-crafted goods. During summer and fall, local artisans often display their crafts along Portland’s Commercial Street and indoor craft fairs abound during the holidays. The Maker’s Market, offered on select Sundays at Thompson’s Point, is an ode to local Maine artisans, craftspeople, artists, creators and farmers. For year-round access to locally made artisan goods check out The Makers Galley and Lisa-Marie’s Made in Maine shops.

PURSUE THE ARTS

Performing arts are flourishing in Greater Portland with Broadway-level theatre, two ballet companies, Portland’s own Symphony Orchestra, a Bach Festival, a Chamber Music Festival, Opera Maine, and renowned summer theaters nearby. Portland’s Arts District is anchored by the venerable Portland Museum of Art in Congress Square and filled in by dozens of galleries and studios that open their doors in a festive celebration the first Friday of every month. Immigrants from many countries have brought their own music and dance to town, infusing the region with new sounds and energy—even the most urbane travelers will be amazed at the vibrant arts scene that’s grown up in Maine.
