Maine Indian Basketmakers Holiday Market mentioned in Press Herald article

The annual Maine Indian Basketmakers Holiday Market held at the University of Maine was mentioned in the Portland Press Herald article, “Bar Harbor to host Northeast’s biggest Native American marketplace.” From May 18–20, the Abbe Museum will host a three-day juried American Indian art market in downtown Bar Harbor, creating more exposure for Native American art and artists from Maine and the Northeast, according to the article. Maine is home to many small American Indian festivals and fairs, the article states, citing the Hudson Museum’s Maine Indian Basketmakers Holiday Market as a good example. But a large-scale juried art show that encompasses a range of arts and attracts artists and audiences from across North America is unusual if not unprecedented in the Northeast, said Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko, Abbe Museum president and chief executive officer.
