Richard Blanco will once again offer the Poetry Intensive, a 6-month hybrid class with two in-person workshops and six months of mentored submissions, in addition to his one-week workshop. There will be workshops in food writing, travel writing, graphic novels, poetry, and prose. That’s just the beginning.

SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATE THE LIGHT! Our Annual Celebration and Art Sale for Friends of Maine Media
SAVE THE EVENING: Wednesday, June 20, 2018
COME AGAIN FOR THE POP-UP ART SALE: June 20-30, 2018
Maine Media has two gallery spaces, both of which feature an ever-changing roster of work by students, alumni, faculty, and other exciting Maine artists. Stop by for a dose of inspiration and connect with our artistic community.
Maine Media Gallery in Rockport Village is an intimate space where we showcase work by our students, alumni, and faculty. It’s also home to Timothy Whelan’s Bookstore, loved for its incredible selection of photobooks and classics on the history and theory of the medium. Over the summer, we also host a number of events in our MAINE MEDIA GALLERY: Rockport Gallery, including book signings, exhibition openings, and artist talks. The 18 Central Street, Rockport, Maine gallery is a quick five-minute walk from campus and just down the street from the facebook.com/mainemediagallery Opera house, stop by during lunch or before an evening lecture—it’s worth it!
PHOPA GALLERY PhoPa Gallery is our Portland exhibition space, a collaboration between Maine Media 132 Washington Avenue, Portland, Maine and co-founders Bruce Brown and Jon Edwards. PhoPa exhibits (pho)tography and www.phopagallery.com works on (pa)per by Maine-based artists. At PhoPa we maintain a special focus on @phopagallery highlighting emerging artists rarely seen in Portland, in addition to showcasing work by members of the Maine Media community. Last year we were thrilled to share exhibits like Seeing Through, a group show featuring 13 Maine artists under 30, and Signs of Your Identity, Daniella Zalcman’s series which won the 2017 Arnold Newman Prize. We also welcomed a new Gallery Director, Sophia Namara, at the end of last year, so stop by and say hello! We have a diverse and exciting schedule in the works for 2018. Keep an eye on our 162 Russell Avenue, Rockport, Maine website and social media pages for the most up-to-date information about our current and upcoming exhibitions and events and plan a visit when you’re in town!
