Mission Statement and Philosophy
Upcountry Arists, a non-profit organization,
was formed in 1986 to encourage, support, educate artists, and
develop public awareness of the arts in Western Maine. Our members
represent a variety of artistic media
We hold quarterly meetings
at which various programs such as marketing the arts, panel
discussions,
art critiques and workshops are held.
We keep our members informed of current
shows, gallery openings and other art related opportunities through
our monthly newsletter.
Upcountry Artists manages
the annual H. K. Smith Scholorship. This is awarded to an
aspiring artist
from the area high school graduating classes. Applicants must
present a portfolio of their artwork, a written statement of
what art means to them, and proof of acceptance at a college/school
of art, as well as a recommendation from their art teacher. The
applications are then juried by no less than three of the organizations
artists.
We organize our annual Sugarloaf
Art and Craft Show at the Base Lodge at Sugarloaf
Mountain USA over
Homecoming/Columbus Day weekend.
Since the summer of 1993,
we have sponsored an "Art Escape/Retreat" in Lubec,
Maine during the first two weeks of August. This was originally
conceived
to give artists
a chance to immerse themselves totally in art. Participants in
this program have found this experience very productive and inspiring.
Please feel welcome to join
us as a member, in fostering the arts here in the upcountry.
