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, graphic design production, and interactive media projects 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!
LumenARRT! Know Your Villains cards being sorted into piles for activists to distribute.
2026 has been a roller-coaster ride so far. LumenARRT! has been showing up at rallies, community events, and protests to raise awareness about the villains who conspire to destroy democracy, to laugh with activists and artists, and to share our joy in participating in the work required for a more equitable and sustainable future.
Fired! We’re happy to see our Kristi Noem Villain Card become obsolete! Now we want some accountability for her villainy! Still eleven Villains to go! Know Your Villain cards are available here.
