    MMPA's Museum by Mail brings art into schools!

    We've already received donated prints for our Museum by Mail educational program. We're thrilled at the idea of sending small, original prints (protected & insured, of course!) into classrooms all over the state. The students will be able to see the artworks firsthand, the teacher will have a lesson plan in hand and they will be able to interface with our virtual museum website.

    All this hinges on reaching our Kickstarter goal! We still have a ways to go. If we don't reach goal we don't get your pledge either so help us! It's all or nothing with Kickstarter.

        I'd love to bring this to the schools of Cumberland & North Yarmouth (MSAD51). Let me know how to learn more about this, and help make it happen.

    MMPA Mounts Exhibition at the Ogunquit Museum of Art Summer 2012

    We met yesterday with Director Ron Crusan of the Ogunquit Museum of Art. He has generously offered the museum's galleries for a special exhibition of works by us! The show is planned for May through June of 2012. We'll open their gorgeous sea-side museum with a big exhibition on May 1, 2012.

    We still have to reach our goal and we're down to 12 days, so please consider pledging even more generously than you already have. And, spread the word!!

    Capture Closed - now looking at our next show venue for the midcoast area

    We're looking to mount another special exhibition - this time in the mid coast Maine area.

    We hope to collaborate with arts organizations there already for an exhibit of photographic works in conjunction with the Maine Media Workshops fall exhibit in their new gallery space and the Center for Maine Contemporary Arts 10 year survey of Maine photography.

    We want to make a photographic trifecta for the fall in the Rockport/Rockland area!!

    Message us with any ideas- we'd love the input!!

    We're receiving amazing press - read the great article by Avery Yale Kamila. Please pass on our cause to a couple of friends who have said they'll support but just haven't done it yet. I know we can make our goal! Each of you counts so much....
