Established in 2010 The Gallery at Somes Sound is located on Mount Desert Island, overlooking beautiful Somes Sound in the historic Village of Somesville (Town of Mount Desert). The Gallery represents contemporary artists of national standing while showcasing their fine art and studio furniture .. tucked away on the “quiet side” of the Island, this is a real treat for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
