The Maine Arts Journal: UMVA Quarterly

The Sketchbook Issue

Summer 2024

For this Summer issue of the Maine Arts Journal, we invited our contributors to share pages from past and present sketchbooks, excited to discover the many purposes for this uncensored private space. We are grateful for their willingness to let MAJ’s readers peek into their creative process and become privy to their visual thinking.

From the Editors: Natasha Mayers, Nora Tryon, Véronique Plesch, Betsy Sholl (poetry editor), with the help of Colby interns Sofia Escobar Amaya and Audrey Loo.

The Union of Maine Visual Artists is proud to produce the Maine Arts Journal, with generous contributions from the Rabkin Foundation, Judith Glickman Lauder, Kent Gordon, and other donors. The MAJ helps us promote and advocate for the visual arts, artists, and all arts supporters. Learn more and become a UMVA member here. The MAJ is dependent on UMVA membership dues.
