2026 marks the 16th Artful Living Tour featuring four artful venues not far from CMCA

1. Kick off the day at an artist's historic home on the Mall in Thomaston filled with art and colorful, quirky finds. Orange juice, mimosas, homemade pastry and fresh fruit served on the deck overlooking the gardens.

2, Drive down the St. George peninsula to a classic 1840 Maine farmhouse in Tenants Harbor with a guest house conceived from a barn. You will be surrounded by landscaped beauty down to the water. Art abounds.

A special lunch will be served courtesy of McLoons Lobster Shack, featuring their signature lobster rolls served with butter, mayo, or both, alongside grilled hamburgers and vegan burgers, freshly shucked oysters with pink mignonette and cocktail sauce, and cold drinks. Homemade blueberry bread pudding for dessert. Thank you McLoons!

3. Journey to Spruce Head to a recently completed home on Inner Seal Harbor designed by Zel Bowman-Laberge. The contemporary design was inspired by historic Maine shingled gable forms along working waterfronts. The home primarily features materials harvested or sourced from Maine. And, of course, lots of art.

4. Final stop is Rackliff Island for an artist’s home featured in Decor Maine magazine with an inspiring Maine-focused collection. A large deck overlooks the opposite side of Inner Seal Harbor where CMCA signature biscotti and cold drinks will be available with plenty of comfy seating.

Due to limited parking at the tour destinations, Artful Living guests will meet at the CMCA courtyard to check in at 9am and board our air-conditioned bus, which departs at 9:30 sharp.

As this event sells out year after year, we are limiting purchases to two tickets per person.
