The Maine Arts Journal: UMVA Quarterly

Original Art and News from Maine’s Community of Visual Artists

Summer 2025: Encounters

Life, art, and people are shaped by encounters. This issue explores the transformative significance of such events, and our contributors tell us about moments that had a profound, and often foundational, effect on them.

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