Red Dot Gallery
A collective of about ten artists at 3 Main Street in Deer Isle Village, operating since 2008 with Haystack Mountain School of Crafts connections. Ceramics and sculpture are the primary focus, alongside fine art cards, books, and textiles.
Red Dot Gallery is a member-run artist collective that's been operating on Deer Isle's Main Street since 2008. Unlike the Deer Isle Artists Association's more formal member structure, Red Dot functions as a smaller collective — roughly ten artists showing and selling work together under one roof.
Artists represented in the collective include ceramicists, sculptors, and painters. Known participants include Pauline Young, Jane Lewis, Alan Schmidt, Derek Blois, Julia Richardson, and Marie Louise Wrightson, among others. The gallery maintains connections to the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts community that anchors much of Deer Isle's arts identity — some collective members are Haystack faculty or alumni.
The gallery has no web presence as of early 2026, which limits advance planning for visitors.
