Cove Street Arts is a multi-
media space, celebrating
Maine’s storied and outsized
place in American art history.
Its mission is to promote
contemporary Maine art,
contribute to the Maine
arts economy and engage
meaningfully with Portland’s
vibrant and growing East
Bayside community by
offering workshops and
art-centered educational
opportunities. The
8,000-square-foot exhibition
space is dedicated to showing
the incredible breadth and
depth of fine art being made
in Maine and demonstrating
how vibrant and vital Maine’s
art scene continues to be.
The space includes multiple
galleries and showrooms, a
bookstore and small worksgallery, an event and work-
shop space and a full-size,
retractable movie screen for
video art installations and film
screenings.
Upcoming shows that run
into August and September
include Ian Trask’s Strange
Histories. Using vintage
slides, Trask creates his
own stories by layering
multiple slides into a
photomontage—an image of
Stonehenge might interrupt a
beach scene or baseball
players could be transported
into an African safari. In
addition, there will be a solo
exhibition held for Charlie
Hewitt, nationally renowned
painter, sculptor and print-
maker, born and based in
Maine. Hewitt has artwork
in the collections of the
Metropolitan Museum of
Art, Whitney Museum of

of Modern Art, Library of
Congress, Portland Museum
