The American Art Awards has announced the 20 Best Art Galleries in the USA for the year 2025, with Maine Art Hill receiving the award for the Best Gallery in Maine. Selections are based on years established, industry reputation, location, size, aesthetics, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, online presence, represented artists, and references from artists, clients, and visitors.
American Art Awards: “For almost 35 years, Maine Art Hill owner John Spain has expanded the art and vision of idyllic Kennebunk. Maine Art Hill is an art campus of three buildings surrounded by an outdoor display of Wind Sculptures by Lyman Whitaker. The gallery presently represents over forty painters and sculptors with strong inspirations from, and connections to, Maine.”
The globally recognized American Art Awards, World Art Awards, and Art Collectors Choice Awards are headed by award-winning actor, author, and painter Thom Bierdz
“American Art Awards chases beauty. What a privilege it is for us to work with the most beautiful galleries in the USA and the most beautiful contemporary artworks from around the world. We selected a revered 5-story gallery and many other facilities over 20,000 sq. ft., exhibiting high-quality work by important national and international artists. While some specialize in traditional mediums, others promote abstract, conceptual, and expansive spiritual or allegorical art," says Thom Bierdz. "We opted for some striking modern galleries with influential international presences showcasing brilliant contemporary work. In addition, we chose some cultural landmarks with warmer ambiance and welcoming reputations, making an impact on their communities.”
