Closely tied to one of the earliest modern art colonies in the United States, OMAA today houses a permanent collection of paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and photographs from the late 1800s to the present. The Museum showcases modern and contemporary American art by mounting seasonal exhibition programming. OMAA’s seaside landscape—a three-acre sculpture park containing 18 small gardens—complements its exhibitions and overlooks Narrow Cove and the Atlantic Ocean. The Museum is open May 1 through October 31.

]]> Maine offers a range of exciting adventures and spectacular sights as vast as the state itself. Now you have an easy way to navigate it all, with NaviTour, a new online tour and experience booking service that’s unlike any other.

NaviTour will help you discover the Maine you’ve dreamed of, or new places, stories, and insights you never imagined. Yes, you can search by region and interest, but the big advantage with NaviTour is you can check out the guides themselves, learn about their expertise and perspectives, and even start a conversation with them before you book.

You can partake in a guide’s typical outing or work together to customize a plan for your group, and plan, pay, share photographs and reviews, and more, all in one place.

NaviTour will help you find ways to enjoy our celebrated seafood and famous restaurant scene, scores of craft breweries, hiking, boating, fishing, and camping from coast to mountains, and to dig deeper. There are guides who can share Maine’s rich African-American history, or insights into Native American traditions still practiced today.

NaviTour is focused on making Maine accessible and user-friendly for all. BIPOC, LGBT, women, spectrum, mobility, or deaf people can find a guide able to cater to you and, most importantly, instantly make you feel welcome and at home.

Start making your Maine memories here, life experienced together!

]]> Proudly built in Freeport, Maine.

A family run ski company since 2012, Amalgam Skis was started from a passion. A passion to inspire a community of skiers with impactful profiles both on the hill and in their community. We design & manufacture every piece and part of our uniquely handcrafted skis and build them in small batches with the forethought of each individual customer. Over the years it is this attention to detail that Amalgam has become known for in creating high performance and high quality products.

We offer a full line up of ski profiles to choose from; a front face carver, an all mountain every day, a playful twin tip, a big mountain charger, and our new backcountry adventurer. Each profile is a handcrafted tool capable of handling the hard packed terrain, wind blown powder, and occasional soft snow we see here in New England.

Our skis are made with a wooden core from trees that are locally harvested. We hand select the wood for grain quality & structure resulting in a uniquely book-matched core allowing optimum flex to last you season after season. We take pride in the materials we use to build our skis and source them as close to home as possible with the mindset of supporting other local businesses and being stewards to our environment.

Our ski profiles come in a wide range of lengths and color options. We also design custom artwork for the skier wanting to personalize their profile.

Purchase your skis directly from our website or send inquires to our email.
