Join us for Artful Escapes, a new conversation series that invites a global view of travel shaped by intention, and an eye for meaning.
About this Event
Event Photos

Following an engaging discussion on a seasonal topic, guests are invited to enjoy refreshments and conversation during a relaxed social hour among others who value thoughtful travel.

Hosted by Dr. Lisa Belisle, physician and host of Radio Maine, with a special guest, the series focuses on memorable experiences from the Arctic Circle to the South Pacific.

Brought to you by the Portland Art Gallery, our first Artful Escapes symposium invites an autumn mindset. As the season turns, we slow down, choose with care, and notice what restores us.

Open to the Public with Limited Seating


Event Photos

The places we stay can change how we experience a city or coastline, and influence the stories we bring home. Lisa and her guest will share perspectives, then welcome yours in the social hour that follows the dialogue.

Space is limited.


Next in the series: Islands That Might Surprise You on Thursday, December 11, 2025—an evening for discovering destinations that reward curiosity.
