The University of Maine Museum of Art is pleased to announce that 44 artists were selected for UMMA’s inaugural I-95 Triennial exhibition that will run from April 23-June 12, 2010. The exhibition, which will occur every three years, features a survey of the finest contemporary artists working in four New England states: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. One hundred forty-four individuals submitted materials for the highly competitive exhibition, which is the first of its kind in regard to scope and geographical parameters.

Four photographs from the Close To Nature Series will be shown.

All American: Defining Ourselves in a Time of Change features 13 contemporary national and regional artists working in a variety of media, whose work raises questions about traditions and history that define us as a way of exploring what it means to be an America.

I am very pleased to have my work included in this particularly strong and incisive exhibition, especially at this particular time in our country’s history. Check out the Virtual Tours- of the exhibition. Virtual tours are courtesy of All American artist Joe Compean.
