Monhegan is a small island located about 12 miles off the coast of Maine. This car-free island community has a rich history as both a fishing village and an artists' colony. Since the late 19th century, Monhegan has attracted numerous artists drawn to its dramatic coastal scenery, including the 160-foot cliffs, dense forests, and picturesque harbor. The year-round population is small, but the island sees an increase in visitors during the summer months.
The island's cultural heritage is deeply connected to both its maritime traditions and its significance in American art history, with many notable painters such as Rockwell Kent, Edward Hopper, and Jamie Wyeth having worked there. Today, Monhegan continues to maintain its character as an artist's retreat while preserving its traditional fishing industry, particularly its lobstering heritage.
