Founded in 2019 by friends and collaborators Reed Stone McLean, Daniel Sipe, and Karlë Woods, Lights Out Gallery has worked tirelessly to promote art in Maine. Incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 2021, the organization’s mission centers on expanding what is possible in Maine as a contemporary arts destination in conversation with regional, national, and international arts. Lights Out has pursued its mission through the work of documenting and exhibiting the work of Maine artists, and by building a rural community arts center that is rapidly becoming a regional hub for art and artists. Our mission is to connect Maine artists and their circles to a broader community. We feature emerging and established artists alongside one another to encourage conversation, collaboration, and camaraderie. Building and supporting community goes beyond what one might envision in a traditional art gallery. Lights Out is also working to build a community coworking space, internet hub, and tech lending library that will allow community members access to broadband internet and equipment needed to get small businesses off the ground and access technology needed to complete education - in an area that where many still lack access to these items and the community is still greatly impacted by the closing of several key industries that employed much of the population.
