"HANDICAP, I HEARD ABOUT IT BUT I AIN'T GOT IT NOW" - Rita Langlois
This is probably one of the most famous lines written/spoken at Spindleworks, and so telling of the outlook of the artists here who break down stereotypes with their unique and wonderful view of the world and their expression of their place in it.
Over 40 artists work in a variety of mediums, including painting and drawing, ceramics and woodworking, weaving and other fiber and fabric arts. In addition, the artists write poetry and stories, and express themselves through acting, music, photography, video, and performing arts. Their work has been exhibited widely, and they are well known and respected members of Maine's artistic community.
Spindleworks is a non profit art center for adults with disabilities and a program of the Independence Association of Brunswick Maine, whose mission is to help children and adults with disabilities achieve full and inclusive lives in their chosen community. Founded in 1978, artists in the Spindleworks program come from surrounding communities in southern, midcoast, and central Maine.
Artists attending the program receive supplies, studio space, and guidance as needed. Their work is exhibited in the Whatnot Gallery and Store at Spindleworks as well as in shows both locally and nationally. The artists receive 75% of the sale price of their work, with 25% returning to the program to purchase supplies.
For more information on any of the artists, to see new work, or to inquire about purchasing work, please contact us:
