Archipelago, the Island Institute store and gallery, showcases a broad and unique collection of handmade art, craft and design that represents the very best of Maine's islands and coastal communities. Experience the talent, and catch a glimpse of Maine island life where craftsmanship is infused with integrity.

Maine's greatest natural assets

Part art gallery and part gift store, Archipelago exists as a mainland venue for island and Maine artisans to gain exposure and generate income through sales of their work. As a program of the Island Institute, income generated by Archipelago sales is used to advance programs that support island communities. Shop Archipelago, and you will find delightfully special and one-of-a-kind items, and you will be helping to support one of Maine's greatest natural assets--its island and working waterfront communities.
