LumenARRT! is a project of the Artists’ Rapid Response Team (ARRT!). We work through the Union of Maine Visual Artists (UMVA), a members’ organization that advocates for artists and furthers the work of progressive non-profits in the state of Maine. Our video projections create a visual voice for these organizations and like electronic graffiti, bring awareness to issues of social, economic, and environmental justice. In addition to issue based messaging we acknowledge the growing need for community to be nurtured, celebrated and supported. We welcome new members, if you seek to collaborate with others in shining a light on important issues for all of us, get in touch!
