Letter from the President
Dear friends and fellow artists,
As I've watched our programs expand and grow, I
think about all the ways in which we are growing as
a community of artists and visual storytellers. Every
day I am astounded by the creativity that surrounds
me. From the palpable anticipation on Sunday
evenings, to the building excitement as people get
their hands into the making of movies, images,
books, to the culmination of sharing those stories on
Friday night, what happens here changes the way we
see the world.
This has been a momentous year: in April 2018
Maine Media Workshops + College was approved for
Candidacy status – a formal affiliation with the New
England Commission for Higher Education (NECHE).
By seeking accreditation we hope to diversify the
range of students that can access our life-changing
college programs – opportunities for individuals to
deepen their artistic voice, change their life direction,
or launch a career.
There is so much in the making that happens
here – young artists, new works, new careers, new
professional and personal friendships, and new
stories to be told. We look forward to seeing you
under the new Thorne Dining Pavilion for an exciting
line-up of our renowned instructors, along with new
workshops, and new faculty. Learn more in the
pages ahead.
