Decentralized Gallery

Welcome to Our Decentralized Gallery

With a lack of physical space, Engine has networked with local businesses and created a list of 8 local businesses (with more joining each month) that feature local artists in their spaces. Engine charges a small fee to cover the cost of hardware for installation at the businesses as well as a small fee for artists to be added to the “Artist catalog”.

Businesses are brought the list and choose from the “Artists Catalog” for their featured artist! Artists are swapped out on a 2 month rotation!

If you are interested in joining as a business or artist and would like more details please email us at: [email protected].

What people are saying about Engine...

Partnering with UNE, Engine has offered professional level gallery and classroom experiences for undergraduate and local students enrolled in arts classes as well as a venue to see art by both regionally and nationally recognized artists.

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Laura Dunn

Artist

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.

Engine fuels the creativity of our city, making it the hub for youth and adults alike to feed their spirits, expand their skills, and create a better future for all of us.
