During our time in Maine this month, we had the pleasure and honor to spend time with artist, gallery director, and visionary Whitney Vosburgh. It was a wonderful experience to meet with him in Columbia Falls and tour Mothers Art Gallery built in 1841 and restored starting in 1970. The building has architectual character that includes weathered timbers, rustic finishes, and art displayed with an aesthetic of authenticity and honor to the history of Maine.

Here is more about Whitney Vosburgh. He has an MA in Religious Leadership for Social Change from the Graduate Theological Union, and a B.F.A. from Parsons School of Design in New York City, his expertise on  the Future of Work has been featured in four books, including a bestseller by Dan Pink. When Whitney is not focusing on business consulting, speaking, and writing, he can be found making art, and growing Mothers Art Gallery into a destination gallery that brings the best of the world of art to Maine and the best of Maine’s art to the world. He does this all in a lovingly restored 1841 barn in the heart of Downeast, Maine. This episode took place inside Mothers Art Gallery on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Thank you very much to Whitney Vosburgh for his thoughtful conversation and hospitality.
