Greetings from the BCMA, where our doors are temporarily closed until further notice. With great regret, though mindful of the courageous global effort to reduce and ultimately eliminate this pandemic, we have decided to postpone
At First Light: Two Centuries of Artists in Maine, our major exhibition marking Maine's bicentennial originally scheduled to open in June. We look forward to presenting it in the summer of 2021. In the meantime, please check out the book that accompanies the exhibition. Published by Rizzoli, it is now available, and it promises to provide a wonderful breath of Maine air. Though the doors are shut, the team at the BCMA remains active behind-the-scenes. Please explore new features added to the BCMA website, which now highlights a host of "Visit from Home" features, including a new virtual exhibition and family activities. Stay tuned for more to come!

The Presence of the Past: Art from Central and West Africa
We invite you to view this digital exhibition, which complements a gallery exhibition that will open at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art following the museum's temporary closure to the public.
A celebrated visual artist, a leading historian in the field of African American art, and a dedicated educator, Dr. David C. Driskell H'89 left an important mark at Bowdoin and the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
With the Museum closed until further notice, there will be a delay in processing new and renewed membership cards. We look forward to being in touch in the future. Thank you for your patience.
The support of our members helps realize future exhibitions, public programs, and educational offerings, which are always open to students and the general public. Membership offers special access to events and serves as a connection to a community of students and faculty, who are actively engaged in the Museum. If you are not already a member, we hope that you will show your support for the Bowdoin College Museum of Art by
joining today !
