Portland, Maine's Art District

The city of Portland, Maine has a very rich arts district. There is plenty to experience in its theaters, museums and concert locations.

"Uptown, a few blocks from the waterfront, is Portland’s secret treasure–the Arts District. With Congress Street as its spine, this once traditional shopping street has turned into a mecca of art galleries, antique shops, and artist studios. The world class Portland Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum of Maine, the Institute of Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art, the Center for Cultural Exchange, the State Theater, the Portland Stage Company, the Center for Maine History, and the stunningly-renovated Merrill Auditorium all line Congress Street".
