The opportunity to experience art should be within the reach of everyone. The opportunity to experience art from the University of Maine Museum of Art's permanent collection is within the reach of schools and civic organizations within the state of Maine. Museums by Mail allows appropriate groups to borrow up to four exhibitions of original artwork each year from the Museum's educational collection.
Some exhibitions even come with lesson plans.
There is no rental fee. Requests are made on a Request Form which comes with the annual announcement of exhibits. This announcement is sent to our mailing list of participants each Spring. Scheduling for the coming academic year is done in the Summer, and requests must be postmarked by July 1. If you would like to be added to our Museums By Mail mailing list for next year, please go to our 'guest book' page and ask to be added to the list in the comment section.
