Join us for our monthly evening paint ‘n’ sip workshops with instructor Erika Elizabeth at the Gilley for a fun evening of learning and art. Students are guided step by step through the process of painting, with plenty of explanation and instruction along the way.

Each month has a different theme and inspiration-painting. For July, we’ll be painting a landscape of islands in Maine.

Sip on wine, tea or seltzer as part of this adults-only class, which is suitable for artists of all levels who are at least 21 years old. All materials and beverages provided.

The Wendell Gilley Museum will be closed on July 4^th and will reopen at 10am on Tuesday, July 7. The Gilley’s summer schedule is Tuesday-Saturday from 10am to 4pm each of those days, with some events outside that time frame. Check the web calendar for complete event information.

Join noted ornithologist, field biologist and trip leader Seth Benz on this private small-group tour to Petit Manan Island aboard the 40-foot Tricia Clark out of Steuben, Maine; watch for Atlantic puffins, terns, razorbills, eagles, eiders, black guillemots and more with expert insights from Seth. The smaller boat size provides a more intimate experience than on larger tour boats, and allows the Tricia Clark to get closer to Petit Manan. Boat leaves promptly at 10am from the dock in Steuben; arrival required no later than 9:30am.
