Alans work is pure delight! I have three of his Giclee prints hanging in my home in Maine. His use of color and clear, crisp graphics capture perfectly the essence of everything we love about living in northern New England. His new gallery space in Gardiner, Maine is worth a trip...and if Alan is there hell be only too happy to offer you a studio tour. Love, love, love his work!
Great product and service. For the second year, I have ordered the desk calendar online and have been very satisfied. Process was easy, delivery was quick and art is beautiful. The artist even included a bookmark and a map of Maine - a very nice touch! I look forward to visiting his gallery when Im in the area. Thanks!
I visited the gallery for the first time today to make my annual purchase of Alan’s poster calendar for a couple of my relatives. This time they will be getting signed versions! The space is beautiful and airy with a lovely deck and view of the Kennebec River. Alan greeted us with a friendly tour - he is an absolute treasure. I have admired Alan’s work for some time and, after seeing so much of his work in person now, I will be challenged to select just one for my home. Thank you, Alan.
Great gallery & sales space. The lighting is great and reflects the strong colors and design in Alans work. We chatted for several minutes and Alan graciously autographed some gifts that I purchased. Great place to visit and shop.
Weve been to Alans studio twice and have been very happy with our experience each time. His artwork is fabulous (weve made several purchases from a large print to greeting cards and calendars) and hes always been to open to sharing his creative process, etc. Definitely a destination worthy of a special trip!!
My wife and I just visited the Gallery for the first time. Alan was kind enough to chat with us and give us a personal tour. The gallery itself is such a cool and unique space that looks over the river. Alans art is so bold, colorful and unique. We had a hard time picking something out because we liked so much! We are looking forward to returning soon and purchasing a great piece for our home! Definitely recommend checking it out!
I had the great honor to visit the Alan Claude gallery on a recent visit to Maine. I was so exited to visit and meet Alan again and to purchase his beautiful art work. The Portsmouth Head lighthouse was on our to do list and I purchased his beautiful painting to add to my collection. He was more than gracious to me and my family. Keep on creating. I cant wait to see more artwork. Karen Day
Alan is not only a talented artist but also a very kind individual. His gallery in Gardiner Maine is so well-done and the perfect place to add some color to your home. Alan was extremely patient and helpful through out the decision making process and I couldn’t be happier with the additions to my home. Thank you Alan!
We have been fans of Alan Claude’s artwork and today had the opportunity to visit the gallery in the charming town of Gardiner and meet Alan in person. He was so warm and welcoming. We felt like friends when we left. The artwork is beautiful and displayed in a perfect setting. Don’t miss it!
Alan’s work beautifully captures the essence of Maine, with the variety of occupational and recreational activities set amongst the beautiful Maine scenery. His gallery in the restored historical district is warm, colorful and inviting, worth a stroll through if you’re in the Gardiner area. I loved next years calendar so much I bought three! Holidays are coming after all.
I have been collecting Alan Claude prints and calendars for a few years and was delighted to find out he opened his own gallery in Gardiner. The art brings back wonderful memories of our many visits to Maine, and I love his style, particularly the lettering. My husband, daughter and I visited the gallery in July and were very impressed; the building is beautifully done and we loved the large art pieces on display. We were able to meet Alan and his wife, and he signed our prints. My husband was thrilled to get some Christmas shopping done (my daughter and I have the calendars). Our school teacher daughter was thrilled with the I Am Mindfulness Poster Prints, shell be putting one up in her classroom.One other note: we have had orders delivered to our home and the gallery was very good to work with. Last year a shipment was lost, my husband called and spoke with Alan who quickly resolved the problem. Wonderful art and excellent customer service is a winning combination!
Can’t start the New Year right without one of Alan Claude’s 5x7 calendars next to my desktop! Beautiful, elegant scenes recalling my childhood summers in the great state of Maine.
Alans art is whimsical, bright, and filled with love for New England. On my first visit, I bought Go Jump In a Lake and received a wonderful beer recommendation and a tour of the gallery expansion as well. Alan does the art world (and Gardiner) proud with his wonderful work and genuine friendliness. His gallery is well worth the visit.
Stopped in this gallery July 4 week this summer (21). Was delightfully surprised of the vibrancy of every one of Alans beautiful work. I bought three small prints for my camp in Long Pond. I chose them as they depicted camp life of summer in the Belgrades. I am so happy and will buy more upon my return to the camp.Alan was on hand and graciously signed each one! I suggested to Alan that he might find inspiration in Belgrade for some beautiful paintings.After the terrible micro tornado that hit Belgrade Village that week, and the good and brave folks that were on hand to help others in need, inspiration will not be hard to find!
Stopped by the gallery on our way through Gardiner. Have admired Alan’s work for years and enjoyed the opportunity to meet him and talk about some interesting places in Maine. Highly recommend a trip to the gallery.
Gem of a gallery! Today I visited Alans newly-finished gallery by the river in Gardiner. I took two friends along, and Alan graciously showed us not only the gallery but his workshop upstairs as well. Everything is impeccably laid out, and the whole building is gorgeous.What a restoration and a labor of love. The unpainted interior brick walls are an amazing backdrop for Alans incredible artwork. We were so impressed. And love, love, love Alans work. Dont miss it!
Purchased artwork for my home, office and all my Christmas gifts from the gallery. Such welcoming and kind owners, Erin and Alan. Plus we are proud to have this wonderful gallery in downtown Gardiner.
What a wonderful surprise to happen upon this gallery while shopping in Gardiner. I feel like a kid in a candy shop with all my favorite choices available. His modern and colorful interpretation of iconic New England landmarks and water scenes brighten my spirit. I look forward to returning soon and sharing the experience with my family.
I visited Alan Claude’s impressive gallery/studio on 18 April 2021 and was thrilled with the reception I received. Alan is the premier graphic artist in New England and I was very impressed with how his gallery is laid out. All his staff were extremely friendly and dedicated to his visions of Maine and New England. I was honored to have Alan give me a tour of where he does his work. He most graciously signed the pieces of work I purchased. His studio is a must see to those who are interested or love his work.
Outstanding. Such a warm beautiful gallery and LOVE his work! It is unique and captures something special of Maine. Worth a trip when in the area and the hosts Erin and Alan are sooo gracious.
I was so happy to be able to visit Alan’s gallery. I just love his stunning prints which are displayed beautifully in this space. Enjoyed chatting with him and appreciated being given a tour around the gallery. Purchased some prints which look great in my den. I’ll be back!
We had the great privilege of not only purchasing some delightful artwork, but meeting the artist, who completely charmed us with a tour of the studio and shop and the story of how it all came to be. We were already fans of his New England scenes and calendars, and after meeting Alan, are even more so! We look forward to visiting again. Highly recommend a trip to the Manchester and Gardiner area and the Alan Claude Gallery!
My wife and I passed thru town to visit this gallery after seeing his artwork in a magazine. It was well worth the stop. I love his artwork and the gallery was amazing. An added bonus at the end when Alan came and signed the art that we bought. He was very nice and we’re glad to have met him and make the prints we bought more special with his signature. I highly recommend anyone to stop in and admire his artwork!
I visited Alan Claudes Gallery this month and it has a wonderful ambience, perfect for showcasing incredible artwork. I liked that I got to meet the artist in person. Alan was very warm and welcoming. The hardest part was deciding which print I was taking home, but I finally decided on Lobster Boat at Five Islands. It looks great in its new home!
Love Alan’s work!!! Such a vibrant depiction of what makes Maine such a special spot!!Many great options to purchase, at many different price points.
My wife and i stopped in Gardnier, Maine to visit Alans shop after seeing it on an episode of Maine Cabin Masters.... he was friendly, signed our print and calendar, and chatted with us quite a while even after we made our purchases.... he has a very nice gallery and a great selection of prints to choose from....thanks again alan, it was great meeting you
Really enjoyed visiting this gallery and we met Alan Claude. Very nice guy and helpful in explaining his process.
Seeing Alan Claude’s work online does not compare to seeing it in person at his new gallery/gift shop in Gardiner, Maine. The shop is filled with so many Maine and New England iconic images. There are products in all price ranges for gift-giving and/or to buy for yourself. Check out his calendars! The images are gorgeous and colorful! It’s no wonder that his artwork was chosen to be on the official Maine Travel Planner and Adventure Guide celebrating Maine’s Bicentennial!
Got the chance to visit Alan Claude’s studio in Maine and what a treat it was to view all his stellar artwork. I’m from Atlanta Georgia and would recommend any visitors in the state of Maine to check out his art! I bought the calendar and coasters as presents for family back home and am so excited for them to unwrap them at Christmas time.Thanks Alan for welcoming me to Maine and allowing me to view your artwork and studio!!! I’ll be back any time I find myself in the great state of Maine ☺️
The new gallery in downtown Gardiner is wonderful! I purchased two of Alans 2021 poster calendars for relatives who live away but return to Maine every summer. The gorgeous prints will not only bring back memories of the places theyve been, but also inspire them to visit places they have yet to discover. An added bonus to picking them up in person-- Alan is there to sign them! Drop in! Youll be delighted, and he will be delighted to see you!
My sister and I stopped in to this wonderful gallery after doing some shopping in downtown Gardiner...what a gem of a place! Beautiful gallery featuring really amazing artwork. We got to speak to Alan and he even signed every piece of artwork we purchased! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend stopping in often to see whats new!
Weve been a fan of Alans work since a craft fair a few summers ago now and the yearly calendar always hangs at home along with a few other pieces. We knew we would be stopping by the store/gallery if we were ever in the area. Today we were and we are glad we did. Not only was it great to browse many pieces we hadnt seen but also get the stories behind some of them from Alan himself as well as some great recommendations for new Maine places to explore! Dont miss your chance if youre in the area. Of course we didnt leave without the 2022 Calendar which he very generously inscribed for us!
This is a must stop location if you are in the Augusta Maine area. The artwork is diverse and is quintessential Maine. The owner/artist is in the store and signed everything we purchased for us. The array of items offered allows you find something for everyone. You wont find a better place to shop local for this holiday season. We will be back over and over to see the new work that is on display.
Alans new gallery in Gardiner is truly amazing! It is very warm and welcoming. His art work is incredible and its so fun to see where it all comes together. I picked up seven 2021 calendars for gifts. You need to go and check it out! Thanks Alan!
We stumbled upon Alans new Gallery space yesterday on our way through Gardiner. I had already ordered this coming years calendar for my sister which I do every year since she moved out of the area. Anyway the Gallery was only open by appointment so we called and they told us to come on in. Alan gave us a tour of their newly renovated space and signed our calendar! It is a beautiful space and Gardiners waterfront is well worth a visit.
I purchased a poster calendar from Alan Claude in Maine summer 2019. I have loved having each different painting grace my kitchen each month of 2020. I was thrilled that I was able to purchase a calendar for this coming year, too! Art work has never been so important in these pandemic days. So grateful for your work!
Alan has managed to capture all of the things I love about Maine in his work. Somehow the work is both simple and intricate, just like the landscapes. There isnt a single piece I dont want for my own collection. I walked away with a 2021 calendar showcasing popular prints. What a great addition to Gardiner, ME, a delightful gallery.
I have purchased Alan Claude’s annual calendar since 2017. It is my all time favorite poster calendar. I now gift it to select family and friends.
While walking in downtown Gardiner I had gotten the chance to visit Alan Claudes gallery. Not only is the building beautiful, the art work is absolutely outstanding. When my friends and I entered the gallery we were struck with a very warm welcome. Very positive outcome, it was a pleasure to visit and I look forward to future visits.I recently visited the town of Gardiner and stumbled upon the gallery of Alan Claude. What a pleasant surprise! His gallery is a wonderful combination of artwork, calendars and various gifts that would make wonderful gifts for anyone! well worth the visit! - Christina McChristian
I loved Alan Claudes artwork. It is a perfect spot for an artwork shop in a small town like Gardiner. Lots of beautiful things in different sizes. I will definitely be coming back for Christmas gifts for friends and family. Thank you so much!!!
On a recent visit to Maine, we noticed a collection of Alans Lighthouse prints on display at the airport in Portland. I was so intrigued by the color and quality of these works that I wanted to know more about them. Luckily his studio and gallery had recently opened in Gardiner, Maine so we were able to easily find them. The studio is warm and friendly and there is more to Alans art than just lighthouses; such as Maine waterfronts and lobster buoys! Our house back in New York has a little bit of Maine thanks to his beautiful works.
Alan Claude Gallery is beautiful, and filled with quintessential Maine gifts and art for your own home! Alan was so kind to help me find the perfect gift for everyone on my list, and signed them all. Having the artist there themself made the shopping experience so special. Online shopping and shipping is also available which is great for still supporting local while navigating a pandemic! Thanks Alan!
We were excited to see Alan Claudes gallery on the morning news and visited the same day. His art has caught my eye as captures an essence of simpler times. The gallery is beautiful, well stocked and relaxed. We will plan to visit again and further explore Gardiners appealing downtown.
Alans new studio in Gardiner has been a wonderful addition to our little town. His work projects a delightful display of all things Maine. In addition, he is super friendly and helpful.
Weve been buying Alans calendars for years! We look forward to the beauty each month brings! Thank you, Alan! Also, you all need to stop by his new gallery downtown Gardiner. It is gorgeous!
What a wonderful surprise to discover Alans gallery recently! I missed my usual shopping at his stand at the Yarmouth Clam Festival as I always loaded up on holiday gifts especially the beautiful desk calendars that are now an annual gift for family and friends. He has done a fabulous job in creating a most inviting space to show off his great works! Best of luck as he takes his business to yet another level!
I received a calendar of Alan Claudes artwork as a gift, and I love it! I cant wait to visit the gallery the next time Im in the area.
Great place awesome people and very beautiful artwork.
Alan creates the most beautiful graphics. The are vivid and so unique and quintessential Maine. I have purchased multiple prints and can’t wait to see what he creates next.
A lovely studio, very Covid safe... Located in a nice area, lovely views. Alan was very nice and signed the calendars I purchased. This is the perfect place to purchase local gifts for friends!!
Alan is the only artist that I will seek out and hang in my house. His new gallery is worth the trip!(bought two 18x24 prints and one 18/24 framed)
We met the artist at a farmers market during our amazing Leaf-Peepin tour in October 2019. We purchased a wall calendar and recently returned to the website to purchase a calendar for the upcoming year. The art makes us so happy. We hope to get back across the country someday to visit again and see the gallery!
Great gallery space and displays therein. Beautiful art! Definitely worth a stop and a perusal!
Amazing gallery and people! Love the art. Especially the I AM inspirational pieces.
Love the artwork and a great experience meeting Mr Claude. He took the time to show us around his gallery and explain his work ! I will definitely buy!!
Great collection. Nice gallery. Wonderful work!
Beautiful artwork in a gorgeously restored old building. Well worth the trip!
If I could choose 13 stars, I would- I stopped by Alan Claudes gallery in Gardiner, ME last Saturday, and was invited in to a charming space in a historic brick building (next to Renys, for those of you in Maine) that overlooks the Kennebec River. I had a lovely chat with Mr. Claude himself, and particularly enjoyed his enthusiasm for Gardiners Water Street renaissance. HIs gallery is a great addition to the area- its well worth a trip to visit! I know I will be going back...
The studio was full of wonderful prints and Alan and his staff were great.
Love Alans artwork and the retro feel of his items. Dont hesitate, wonderful quality and prices!
Alan went out of his way to prepare one of his prints to make sure that it will be the perfect Christmas present. He even went so far as to make sure that if my wife stumbled upon it before I could wrap it that she wouldnt be able to tell what it was! Appreciate the great art and more importantly the great customer service!
Beautiful gallery.
