MaineArtistAccess evolves

The Maine Arts Commission is announcing the evolution of the juried roster of artists to an open registry in order to better serve all Maine artists. In the future, all artists who choose to do so may log on to www.MaineArts.com and self subscribe, linking their own websites to the Maine Arts Commission’s website, eventually adding imagery, to form the new and broadly defined MaineArtistAccess. This change is in response to numerous communications with the artist community and an analysis by those on the contemporary arts development committee.

Furthermore, technology enables artist and audience to engage directly with each other. A regional website for artist/presenter exchange, www.MatchBook.org intends to expand to visual and literary artists. For further information please visit MatchBook.org.
