The web site, which has been months in W preparation, is designed to access an array of information on the arts and artists in Maine, as it links to the arts world internationally. This is an extraordinary new tool for you to use; it will comprise the only statewide comprehensive calendar listings of arts events, and it will help artists further their careers. Our thanks go to the efforts, many of them well after hours, to Assistant Director Bryan W. Knicely, Information/Technology Manager Lisa Veilleux, and the contractual services of InforME. Turn to page 3 and read in full detail the guidelines for the Artists in Maine Communities Program (AIMC). This program replaces nearly all the individual discretionary grant amounts we announce from time to time. Our plan is to announce one deadline each year, and administer one grant program with significant resources, rather than asking you to compete for smaller amounts in several other categories. AIMC will replace Local Cultural Initiatives grants in the Community Arts Program, and it will replace a number of small grant programs in the Arts in Education Program. Basically, AIMC is the one major program, other than Discovery Research and Partners in Arts and Learning, where you should look for potential funding for projects that involve Maine artists and a collaboration of at least two organizations. The grant application deadline is Oct. 7. In the coming months the Commission will be spending more time on the relationship between the arts and the economy. While the Commission has a strong track record in arts and heritage tourism, making the case for the symbiotic relationship between the arts and the economy needs much more attention. In our own cultural community the relationship seems obvious, but when financial times are uncertain and budgets tight, as they are now, the case gets much more difficult to make. We are looking not only at anecdotal information, but also at better research on the arts and the economy as we are getting help from the Creative Economy Initiative from the New England Foundation for the Arts (www.nefa.org). As always we look forward to hearing your views and comments. The staff list is enclosed on the inside cover of this issue. Please feel free to contact us. Alden C.

In observance of this, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Carnegie Gallery of the University of Maine at Orono and the Colby College Art Museum are presenting the exhibition. Landscape in Maine, 1820-1970. It was during the first few years of Maine's statehood that American artists turned for the first time to landscape painting. Prior to that time, the primary form of painting in this country had been portraiture. When landscape appeared at all in a painting it was as the background of a portrait, or very occasionally, as the subject of an overmantel painting. Almost simultaneously with the artists' interest in landscape as a suitable sub- ject for a painting, they discovered Maine and its varied landscape. Since then, many of the finest American artists have lived in Maine where they have produced some of their most expressive works.

  • Oral History Interview with Stephen Etnier, 1973 Feb. 22
    Oral history interview with Stephen Etnier, 1973 Feb. 22 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Stephen Etnier on February 22, 1973. The interview was conducted by Robert F. Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ROBERT F. BROWN: This is an interview with Stephen Etnier; Robert Brown, the interviewer. This is February 22, 1973. I'd like you in this interview to talk generally about your life and career, your life as it is related to your career. Maybe you could just begin at the beginning, if you wish. Do you want to talk about family, childhood, memories, things that led you to do one... thing or another? STEPHEN MORGAN ETNIER: I think that sometimes when you're asked what motivated you, frequently I think when this embarrassing question is asked, I say I think I took up painting so I wouldn't have to work. I was very shocked by my father's office and I regarded going to an office somewhat the way you would going to school. I figured if I wasn't careful I'd be trapped in that kind of a life. I think I must have made that decision very early that I was going to get out of business no matter what, because it was too close to school.
