The Francis Hotel is proud to feature “Creating in Confinement,” an inspiring art exhibit and holiday gift market showcasing the talent and resilience of incarcerated artists in Maine. “Creating in Confinement” is a mixed-media art exhibit presented in collaboration with the Maine College of Art & Design’s (MECA&D) Public Engagement Program. The exhibit features stunning photography, paintings, ceramics, and textiles, all crafted by individuals within Maine’s prison system. New for the holiday season, the artists have also created an array of unique handmade gifts, perfect for giving to loved ones while giving back to the community. The Francis is proud to allocate 100% of the proceeds from art sales directly to the artists, with no commission taken by the gallery.

The exhibit and gift market will run daily from Friday, December 6 through Friday, December 27. Don’t miss the Holiday Art & Gift Market reception during Portland’s First Friday Art Walk on December 6, from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, where you can meet supporters of the program and enjoy light snacks and beverages.
