- January 08, 2019
Maine Arts Iditarod returns in 2019
With a blast of winter weather and a fresh new year ahead, the Maine Arts Commission is pleased to present the 2019 Arts Iditarod! Our Arts Iditarod will feature Commission staff braving the elements to travel to four of the state's eight ‘tourism regions’. Why? As we implement our five-year Cultural Plan, we've got a lot to talk about, to hear from you, and to deliver as promised! This winter's Iditarod will include workshop intensives for your professional development plus, whatever you bring to the table! These meetings are free and open to the public, but you will need to register. We hope to see you at one of them.
