Maine Citizens for Clean Elections (MCCE) and the League of Women Voters of Maine (LWVME) are non-partisan organizations working to engage, encourage and empower people to vote. ARRT! (Artists’ Rapid Response Team), LumenARRT!, and The Maine Arts Journal: Union of Maine Visual Artists Quarterly are partnering with them to generate a ton of interest and energy in the upcoming election.
MCCE and LWVME decided to ask Maine artists to create t-shirt designs with a motivating pro-voting theme as an awesome and effective way to stimulate interest in the critically important midterm elections. Designs that could also be suitable for printing as a bumper sticker or button were also welcome. The focus is on energizing voters to get out and make their voices heard, not on specific issues, candidates, or political parties.
Leticia Plate, Your Vote Counts
From designs submitted MCCE and LWVME will select a couple to print on t-shirts for sale with artists donating the use of the designs to them.
LumenARRT! will project them. This follows from Vote! A video projection by LumenARRT! (a previous collaboration with MCCE and LWVME) that took place on the Portland Public Library in Monument Square the day before the June primary election (link below). LumenARRT! Intends to project the most persuasive, clear, non-partisan, bold and effective images submitted before the upcoming election.
