Welcome to the Maine Arts blog

Attention artists, arts organizations and creative entrepreneurs - in response to constituent request, the Maine Arts Commission has created an online collaboration venue.

MaineArts.com will continue to be the state’s official arts website, however to help foster improved communications with our constituents, we are initiating online social networking. Our first step is the development of the Virtual MAC blog. Virtual MAC will be utilized as a place to discuss issues, share ideas and be an educational resource for the arts community. Agency staff will initiate a topic for conversation, review and contribute to the discussion, and categorize topics for ease of retrieval.

For those of you not familiar with how a blog works, we have developed a navigational page to familiarize everyone with how to use and navigate Virtual MAC.

If you have a specific concern that you have not received an answer for in this forum, please feel free to contact the Maine Arts Commission staff at 207/287-2724 or email at MaineArts.info@maine.gov.
