Little Sparks

This blowout fundraising show of over 120 Maine artists helped benefit the restoration and renovation of our new home at Maine's historic snowshoe factory-turned-art center in Norway, Maine. It included notable Maine artists such as Lois Dodd, Katherine Bradford, Duncan Hewitt, Warren Seelig, Rose Marasco, and many more. We brought together small works from our past-featured artists as well as new selections from across the state. Little Sparks was a prime example of the magnitude and vigor of Maine's art community. With overwhelming interest and support, this show attracted nearly one thousand visitors and illuminated our mission to show emerging and established artists alongside one another.

"At their new home at the snowshoe factory at 10 Tannery Street in Norway, the group has undertaken an art movement in Western Maine, transforming the industrial structure into a myriad of studios, a public park, and exhibition space."

This show helped us ignite our “Raise the Roof” campaign, marking the beginning of our fundraising to build a new Art Center in Western Maine and permanent gallery space for Lights Out. We raised nearly $50,000 of our $75,000 goal with this spectacular show. Check out our ongoing GoFundMe to help us breathe life into this important opportunity for the Maine arts community.
