Cushing is a small town in Maine that has a giant art legacy. Andrew Wyeth and his family have spent many summers here, and just down the street from the Barn is the Olson House where Andrew painted "Christina's World" in 1948. Today, there are many artists of all media residing and creating in Cushing, being inspired by its natural beauty and deep sense of place.
