A 2022 Recap
The year 2022 was The Willard Gallery’s first full year in business and it certainly surpassed all of my expectations!
The gallery welcomed nine new artists to the roster and were incredibly grateful each of the three times that the gallery was profiled in print publications. We placed a total of 123 paintings from our artists over the course of the year. Repeat collectors returned to the gallery to add to their collection and we continued to greet new art enthusiasts - in person, over the phone, and via email - throughout the year, helping them find the perfect work of art for their home or project. We personally delivered art to locations from Mount Desert Island down to Boston, and took great joy in assisting people with surprise gifts for their loved ones for special occasions throughout the year.
We can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for us and for the talented group of artists with whom we are so lucky to work. Thank you for continuing to support the gallery & our artists and for being such an important part of our journey.

We began scheduling more in-home gallery showings throughout New England. I love giving collectors the chance to experience what a work looks like in their own space.
