We welcome all current Bangor Art Society members to take a road trip and meet at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland on April 18th.

We plan to be at the Farnsworth Art Museum at 11 AM on Saturday, 4/18/26, so if you're interested in visiting this fabulous museum, we'd love to see you there!

This road trip is an informal outing and registration is not required. It's a chance for all of us BAS members to get out and experience some great art together as artists.

If you're interested in going, you can either set up a carpool with other members, or drive down individually, and plan to meet us there at 11:00 AM.

We may also go out to lunch as a group afterwards, so feel free to join us for that as well if interested (not required).



Farnsworth Art Museum address is: 16 Museum Street, Rockland, ME 04841

Farnsworth admission fees are as follows:
Adults: $20
Seniors 65 & over: $18
Students 17 & older: $10
Children 16 & under: Free.
Farnsworth Art Museum members: Free
