MANKO American Folk Art maintains a gallery at our home in Moody, Maine that is open by appointment or invitation only for viewing approximately 30 - 50 pieces, all at the highest level. Moody is located half way between Ogunquit and Wells Maine and is only 15-20 minutes from Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. The gallery is closed in the winter, but we can be reached at home year round to answer questions or to help you with your specific needs.
