CHEBEAGUE ISLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY January 2022

The Museum Artisan Shop—a big success! We are so pleased to report that in 2021 island artists who advertised their work through our Artisan Shop sold several paintings. The shop is clearly meeting its goal—helping artists adver- tise their work while benefitting the museum financially. Part of the sale proceeds are donated to the CIHS. We look forward to continued success in 2022—and thanks to all who have supported this pro- gram! We have much more art to sell—check out the selection on our website.
