Maine through the Eyes of Its Artists
In 2020, on the occasion of Maine’s bicentennial, the Farnsworth Art Museum will present a series of projects that celebrate the state’s ongoing role in American art. Under the banner First to Hail the Rising Sun: Maine Through the Eyes of its Artists, these projects will include both specific exhibitions as well as a series of audio tours throughout the museum’s galleries that will enable visitors to explore Maine through the Farnsworth’s nationally renowned collection. The included exhibitions will be:
- Transforming the Ordinary: Women in American Book Cover Design
- Elliot Porter: All the Wild Places
- Andrew Wyeth: A Maine Legacy
- George Tice and Andrew Wyeth: Parallel Visions
- Maine: The Farnsworth Collection
Funding for First to Hail the Rising Sun: Maine Through the Eyes of its Artists is provided by Camden National Bank, the Premier Sponsor of our bicentennial programs; and by donors to our exhibition development and education fund.
