About the Center
The idea of an arts center in Bowdoinham started with Peggy Muir who believed the works of her late husband and local artist, Bryce Muir, should stay in Bowdoinham rather than be given to a major museum. Bryce loved the town and was adamant that art should be for everyone.
This exciting prospect rapidly gained momentum with input (in the form of ideas and physical labor) from many local people. From a meeting one cold March night at the Town Hall to the first opening events in the summer of 2007, the Merrymeeting Arts Center has become a reality

Contemporaneous Crochet
An Exhibit of Crochet Artistry
July 18th through October 4th
The art of crochet spans the centuries; it was especially popular in Europe in the 1800s. It now takes on a life of it’s own as old techniques are used in new ways and new techniques redefine what is crochet. Come see the old and the new! There will be wonderful works of an era gone by, and new innovative works that recreate the art of crochet.
