ARRT logocopyWe are sharing a slide show of images that address issues of Freedom and Captivity in different ways. As a project of the UMVA, ARRT! creates images for progressive non-profits throughout the state. ARRT! provides a visual voice for groups that need assistance getting their messages out. Much of ARRT!’s work consists of large original hand-painted banners, but new media and applications are popping up all the time. All of ARRT!’s work is done in collaboration, with the belief and proven practice, that our best work emerges through our shared skills, ideas, and the lively process of group critique we have developed. See more at www.arrteam.org
If you have been following our progress over the years you will perhaps remember some of these images ARRT! has produced in the past.
Below are some recent banners and yard signs painted this summer. ARRT! also participated in community events in support of the Pine Tree Amendment and in opposition to the Pembroke Mine, and co-presented a community workshop on art and activism with the Kneeling Art Photography project, LumenARRT!, and Natasha Mayers at the beautiful new Colby Arts Collaborative in Waterville. We want to thank Teresa McKinney the Diamond Family Director of the Arts and the Maine International Film Festival for their support and encouragement for the workshop!
