The Colby College Museum of Art will host “Visual Culture: Issues and Institutions,” a virtual panel discussion about a broad spectrum of Maine visual culture in the mid-century era, from 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 12. This virtual event is free and open to the public, however, registration is required.
The program will expose audiences to some of the incredibly rich visual creations produced in, by, and for the state during the mid-century era, and ask them to consider how the state was represented in the images, their larger impacts, and the many ways Maine became the host of so many artists during this period. This discussion is part of the University of Maine at Augusta’s Maine’s Mid-Century Moment, a series of humanities discussions at multiple locations around the state, generously funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
