Jud Hartmann Gallery

Discovering a forgotten world

through bronze sculpture

Rising to a height of over 14 feet from street level at the intersection of Route 15 and Main Street in downtown Blue Hill is a 17th
century Iroquois lacrosse player in bronze. It is there to honor the founders of the oldest and fastest growing sport in America. It has
become something of a landmark in Blue Hill and marks the front of the Jud Hartmann Gallery. It hints at what one will find inside.
In most art galleries, the focus is on paintings with perhaps a small sculpture here and there. In this art gallery paintings do fill the
walls of this expansive two-story (c.1830) building – oils, pastels, and watercolors by talented artists with a strong local connection,
Jerry Rose, Barron Krody, C. Fenner Ball, Sally Ladd Cole, Olena Babak, and William Bracken among others.
