The purpose of ABOUT MAINE is to exhibit artwork from artists in specific regions across the state. The Arts in the Capitol program provides exhibitions in venues throughout the Capitol complex, and highlights the work of contemporary Maine artists. All Arts in the Capitol events are free and open to the public. These works are installed in state employees' offices and require some flexibility on the part of visitors, with respect for those working in the offices.
