Last spring, I had the opportunity to join several other travel influencers to experience The Heart of Maine’s Art Scene, in Rockland, Maine. We had such a great time traveling to this gorgeous coastal town. We were hosted by the nicest people who all took time out of their busy schedules to share their love for Rockland. Also traveling with us was Cait Bourgault, an amazing photographer, and she captured so many fun moments. (Check out her website: www.caitbourgault.com)
It’s not common for me to have an itinerary made for me, and it was so nice to sit back and not have to plan a thing. Here is what we did on our trip. Enjoy!
We started our day at the Maine Lighthouse Museum. I love lighthouses and always stop to take pictures of them, so I was happy this was our first stop. I loved seeing the pennies on the floor showing where the Maine lighthouses were!
The museum had so many fun pieces. This one rotates.
After our drive from Portland, we needed to get some food into us, so we were treated to Clan McLaren for lunch. This hip spot served delicious sandwiches and salads. I had a chicken salad called the Lorelei, and it was so good I’ve tried to replicate it at home.
Our first stop on our art tour of Rockland, Maine was the striking new home of CMCA, designed by architect Toshiko Mori. The building is a work of art itself, with its 11,500 square foot building with 5,500 square feet of exhibition space.
