Maine College of Art

After producing the Art Honors celebration for 14 years, Maine College of Art will be changing the event for this year to celebrate the completion of the Porteous Building renovations. Mecamorphosis will be held on May 13 in the Porteous Building to showcase the adaptive reuse of the former department store into a state of the art studio facility.

Art Honors provides a platform for recognizing the achievements of artists, philanthropists, art educators and artist entrepreneurs with significant ties to Maine. On May 14, 2009 the College honored Andy Graham, founder and owner of Portland Color for Entrepreneurship in the Arts and Alice Spencer, artist and public art advocate, for Leadership in the Arts. Their creative vision and dedication to enlarging our aesthetic and technological boundaries have contributed enormously to a thriving arts community in Maine.
