Arts & Cultural Alliance of Freeport announces new name, logo

The organization takes name Meetinghouse Arts to celebrate its home in downtown Freeport

The Board of Directors of Arts & Cultural Alliance of Freeport – the nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by local citizens to support artists, arts and culture in Greater Freeport – is proud to announce that the organization will exclusively use the name Meetinghouse Arts for all of its operations, including events at the gallery and performance venue located within the historic First Parish Church at 40 Main Street in downtown Freeport. “This is well timed, as the Gallery celebrates its one-year anniversary and the Stage rounds out a full season of diverse offerings from local and regional performers,” says Meetinghouse Arts Executive Director, Dana Legawiec. “The name Meetinghouse Arts captures the organization’s identity as a center for the arts, as well as the catalyzing energy that draws people together to celebrate and activate the arts and culture.” 

Marking this evolution is a new logo, designed by Mali Welch of All Over It Maine, captured in a burst of vibrant colors signifying the passion, energy, and creativity inspired by the arts, ​​as well as the community’s heritage and rich cultural assets.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from Bath Savings, a new website is under construction. As Meetinghouse Arts continues to grow, the newly designed website will provide easy access to its many offerings as well as a calendar of cultural activities throughout the area. The new colorful logo will identify fine art, craft, performances, lectures, and opportunities to connect and learn through the arts throughout Greater Freeport. 

The mission of Meetinghouse Arts is to cultivate Greater Freeport as a vibrant center for arts and culture by fostering creative collaboration, expanding access to arts and cultural assets, and amplifying the arts and culture as powerful tools to create, strengthen, and connect community.
