Protected by Georges River Land Trust since 2017, the Langlais Art Preserve is a 90-acre nature preserve in Cushing, Maine with a 10-acre art environment at its heart.
The Preserve encompasses the former homestead of Maine-born artist Bernard Langlais and his wife Helen Friend Langlais. The Langlais Workshop contains selected artworks by the artist, as well as his tools, art materials, and ephemera.
Dotting the landscape are more than a dozen of Langlais’s large-scale wooden sculptures, remnants of the expansive outdoor art environment he created here from 1966 to 1977. Some works are brightly painted, others show five decades of Maine weather on their rough-hewn surfaces.
Today, a 1/4-mile ADA-accessible path provides a route through the art environment, and a 1/2-mile trail extends into the woodland areas beyond.
