The MAINE MASTERS PROJECT is an award-winning video series sponsored by the Union of Maine Visual Artists, a not-for-profit educational organization established in 1975. The Maine Masters Project was launched in 1999 and has produced a series of compelling profiles of some of Maine’s most distinguished and often less recognized visual artists who articulate the importance of art-making. There are currently thirteen completed DVDs (see Artist DVDs) with seven more in production.
The purpose of the series is to support a vital contemporary artistic community and to inspire all people to create art and to recognize the value of art. Through our outreach program (seeUpcoming Events) – through series screenings, broadcasts, and presentations in community libraries, museums, colleges, and art centers – we are successfully reaching adults. Through our curriculum guide series (seeCurriculum Guides) that has now been launched with the first curriculum guide on painter Stephen Pace, we are beginning to reach a younger audience of high school and college students.” For more information on all the films in this collection, please visit:
