On the grounds
of the Seaside Inn is one of the featured attractions in
the village, the Port Clyde Art Gallery. The gallery displays
paintings, photographs, crafts and sculpture from numerous local artists and is
open mid-June through mid-September.
Art from the gallery is also on display and available for sale
at the Seaside Inn throughout the year.
Workshops sometimes take place on our grounds -- with artists
placing their easels and paint boxes in position to capture
a particular vantage point of the harbor.
The
gallery is open 10 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Sunday.
To find us, turn off Rt. 1 at the Knox Mansion, follow
