Happy February! The new semester launches with wonderful new programming, including the opening of a new exhibition,
Fast Fashion/Slow Art (January 30-August 2). Recognizing the long participation of Maine in the textile industry, this exhibition constitutes-together with
Rufus Porter's Curious World and
Maine's Lithographic Landscapes-part of the Museum's slate of special offerings recognizing the Bicentennial of Maine statehood this year. In February we also honor Black History Month, with special presentations related to
African/American: Two Centuries of Portraits. This month's bulletin features a series of articles that reveal insight into the exhibitions, artworks, and student work we take pride in featuring at the BCMA. We look forward to seeing you in the galleries!
See you at the Museum!
