Barry in 1936, the Brick Store Museum ignites personal connections to local history and arts through exhibitions, education and programs illustrating the human experience in Kennebunk and the southern Maine region. For 90 years, the Museum has inhabited a campus of five historic buildings, including an 1825 dry goods store built of brick (hence our name!).

The Museum offers a hands-on learning gallery for young visitors, a contemporary arts gallery, and six main galleries to explore. The Museum is located in the heart of downtown Kennebunk, providing a gateway to engaging with the seacoast region and its deep history and artistic heritage.

In 2026, the Museum’s contemporary art gallery, the Bauman Center, will host rotating exhibitions of York County artists presenting their work in a variety of media such as fiber, glass, metal and wood.

Peters Valley Campus, Office Building. Raechel Bihler, Development Manager & Registrar

Peters Valley enriches lives through learning, appreciation, and practice of fine crafts.

The making of fine crafts is a kind of exploration, which relies on an integration of heart, head, and hands. Peters Valley encourages and facilitates this exploration in everything we do.

We are a vibrant community, bringing together established and emerging artists from around the globe. Coming together to make things makes us better artists, able to learn from each other, and to evaluate our own efforts in a wider context.

We provide studio-based educational workshops for life-long learners who have the opportunity to benefit from working with nationally and internationally-recognized artists.

We steward the creative process from start to finish, focusing on process to strengthen creative ability. We believe creativity is both personal and communal, often sparked by new places and diverse artistic perspectives.
