Open Studios & Makers Market

5 to 8 p.m., Friday December 2

Join Engine for an Open Studios & Makers Market in collaboration with downtown events hosted by Heart of Biddeford!

As we welcome students from the University of New England for the gallery opening of We Are Not Yet Done, makers will open their studio doors at Engine and many other artists from the community will be selling and presenting their work in a celebratory atmosphere. Heart of Biddeford will host their annual holiday festival in city square and many local businesses will stay open late, welcoming patrons to sip and shop well into the evening.

This is a great opportunity to shop local and support some of the following artists and makers:

Tory & Morgan Gordon
Studio Chickadee
Christina Pakus
Denise Poirier
Stone Donut
Kaliegh Brann
Alcove Jewelry

What people are saying about Engine...

Partnering with UNE, Engine has offered professional level gallery and classroom experiences for undergraduate and local students enrolled in arts classes as well as a venue to see art by both regionally and nationally recognized artists.

Stephen Burt

University of New England

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Laura Dunn

Artist

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.

Savanna Pettengill

Artist & Arts Teacher

Engine fuels the creativity of our city, making it the hub for youth and adults alike to feed their spirits, expand their skills, and create a better future for all of us.
