The Carey Art Gallery at Skidompha

The Carey Art Gallery was established in memory of Parker and Joyce Carey of Damariscotta. They were, in the words of library director Pam Gormley, “devoted and tireless volunteers for Skidompha.”

Parker, whose favorite library job was re-shelving books, was also for many years co-manager of the Skidompha Secondhand Book Shop. Works displayed at the Carey Gallery include art, crafts, photography, and posters, with preference given to local artists.
