Featured Member - Waterfall Arts


Waterfall Arts began in 2000 in the woods of Montville, where a group of local artists gathered to share ideas, inspiration, and a love of the natural waterfalls that gave the organization its name. In 2006, we moved into the historic Gov. Anderson School in downtown Belfast, establishing ourselves as Waldo County’s year-round community arts center. Today, we offer exhibitions, public art, open studios, youth programs, and a wide variety of hands-on workshops for all ages and experience levels.
