Communicating with the Maine Arts Commission - Agency Listservs
As technology has advanced in the State of Maine, so have communications. Most government agencies today utilize modern technologies to communicate with their constituents. Through our program-based listservs, the Maine Arts Commission provides you with the latest arts and cultural news and resources. This method allows for a cost effective means of communicating in a timely manner.
In an effort to provide topic-based information, the Maine Arts Commission has several listserv choices.You can customize listserv communications by specific information you wish to receive. You can choose only to receive our bi-weekly newsletter and creative economy listservs or you may wish to receive all listserv announcements. (Warning: emails can become heavy at times if you choose to receive multiple listservs.) You may log in to your account and tailor your selections at any time.
If you are already receiving communications from one of the listservs, please log in to your account and update your selections.
If you are not already receiving communications from the Maine Arts Commission, you could be missing opportunities and valuable resources. Our email listservs are the means in which we send valuable arts and cultural information to our constituents once a week or more in the case of urgent deadlines.
