Stumbled upon this gem while visiting from Houston. Cheap $5 admission, well-curated exhibits of mainly local artists in a variety of mediums. Well done! Highly recommend. Takes about 45 min to see everything slowly.

Manageable sized museum with some lovely exhibition space! We appreciated the focus on contemporary women artists during our visit. For any art-lovers—definitely worth stopping by!

This is a small museum but well curated. They cover a couple artists pretty deeply and a couple more less so. Well be back.Photos are of John Bisbees work.

What a fun place. The exhibits were extremely different. The bird paintings were quite vibrant. I looked forward to the map exhibit, yet found it a bit depressing. Loved the You Can Dream It exhibition much more than I expected. It took us slightly over an hour to take it all in. We wished there were more exhibits.

The unexpected gem looks like it belongs in a big city, but it seals the deal when it comes to securing Rocklands title as the Art capital of Maine. While admission is a tad steep, the thoughtful curation is worth it. Not to mention the fun events, childrens art lab, and beautiful courtyard. I am looking forward to seeing how this new museum grows and evolves over the coming years and plan to visit often!

An interesting place to chill out and slowly wander through the gallery. When I visited they had a an exhibit by Ann Craven who is known for her bird paintings. Good way to pass an hour or so. Once you are done its a short walk to the center of Rockland.

The art they had I enjoyed. The place itself was very very small. I wouldnt have paid $8 if I had known how small it was. There were plenty of galleries I could walk through for free.

Fantastic art lab where you can make your own art. Great for kids and adults. The museum has several rooms of contemporary art on display. Excellent way to spend an afternoon excercising your creative mind.

Small museum had three great exhibits when we went. Its size lets you really take your time to examine the works and let the effect settle in.

Fate conspired to allow me to enjoy the exhibition Boundaries all to myself for quite an extended time with no other people passing through or looking in. I felt alone as one lost in the fog along the Marin Headlands gazing at the city. Across the bay. Where I once lived and spent a day on Angel Island. And tried to imagine it being years.

Another wonderful addition to Maines, and Rocklands art scene. Makes Rockland a wonderful mid coast destination given the the other galleries and museum already there. Love the facility. Am hoping it can be doubled in size.

Like getting only an amuse bouche when you expected a full meal, this gallery will barely whet your artistic whistle. Hopefully, it will grow if supported by the community. Its hard to compete with the many fine galleries in town, who proceeded an excellent art experience for visitors.

Great art... Farnsworth has some solid exhibits, but CMCA is equally solid & memorable. Im from New York, and think CMCA is definitely worth visiting!

The featured exhibits are engaging and include insight into the artists inpirations, processes, and methods. I left feeling that Id learned enough to appreciate more deeply the art and the work it took to create it.There is a great workshop (called ArtLab) where hands-on education is provided. My kids did an art project related to the current exhibit, but ArtLab is available to all ages. Check out the website to see the schedule.
