Possible subject or meddia matter ideas: vegetables; animals on the farm; products from the farm; barns or other farm buildings; fields, crops gardents; helpers on the farm; tractors or other equipment and tools.

Submission guidelines: The artowrk can be any media, 2D or 3D, made by artists age 18 or younger. We are accepting up to 5 submissions per artist.

The MFT Gallery celebrates agicutlure through art, capturing the vibrancy of Maine's farms and farmers- their intimate relationship to the earth, the crops they grow and animals they tend. Founded in 2008, our gallery is a "gallery with a mission." It has attracted artists from all over Maine and beyond, artists who share a love for our rural heritage and are committed to the earth's well-being. We hope that through this gallery, more people will come to understand the promise of farming, and as a result, lend fervent support to our effores to secure Maine's agricultural future.
