Turtle Gallery believes that art can create meaningful connections between communities, cultures, and places. Through our relationships with artisan groups like The Basket Ladies in Kenya and Tulia’s Artisan Gallery in Colombia, we bring handmade work and the stories behind it from small communities around the world to our community here on Deer Isle.

​

These partnerships reflect Turtle’s belief that supporting art means supporting the people, traditions, and knowledge behind it. By creating a place for these makers to be seen and their work to be valued, Turtle helps build a bridge between local and global communities, one handmade piece at a time.
