About Beavis Frank Gallery:

The Beavis Frank gallery was founded by the "Dutch sisters," seasoned art dealer Marjan Frank and gallery owner Hanna Frank, wife of Tim Beavis. Drawing from Marjan's past experiences managing the esteemed Hollander & Co. in York Harbor and the Blackthorne Gallery in Portsmouth, she infuses a rich art tradition into the newly reopened gallery. The sisters merge the past and present, demonstrating a profound understanding of the dynamic art world.

The gallery made its official debut in the summer of 1996, hosting an exhibition that featured six distinguished artists: Michael Culver, Rosalind Fedeli, John Laurent, Harlow Carpenter, John Knapp, and Gary Haven Smith. The inaugural exhibition left an indelible mark on those in attendance, setting a high bar that the gallery has consistently met ever since, earning recognition and critical acclaim from major art magazines and other publications. The gallery's influence reached far beyond Maine and carved a unique niche in the NYC art landscape and beyond.
