The Maine Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowships are awarded annually, one in each catagory: Visual Arts, Performing arts, and Literary Arts.

The program compiles a roster of qualified artists for presenting organizations to use in their programs and for schools and other nonprofit organizations to use in their artist in residence program. The artists are paid directly by the presenting organizations or the sponsoring organizations of residencies. Competition for a listing in the roster is intense. Performing groups must have been in existence for at least one year before applying; individual artists must have been performing in programs in Maine for at least one year and must demonstrate the capability of finding their own bookings. Artists must be available for touring and residencies throughout the state; to remain in the program, all artists must participate in five commission-funded activities (or for five days in one activity) every two years. Applicants to the program are reviewed either by panels or in performance by professionals in their respective disciplines and are periodically evaluated to ensure that they continue to meet the criteria. Annual deadline dates may vary; contact the program staff for exact dates and applications.

The goals of the Arts in Education program are to assure that learning in the arts and through the arts will be a common practice in every school in Maine for every student, and that schools will be community centers that promote creativity and learning throughout the community. The commission invites school systems to develop visiting artist programs that actively support learning in and through the arts--arts opportunities for all children and youth in public schools. The commission focuses its arts education resources in different geographic areas of Maine on a three-year rotating cycle. The commission provides a matching grant of seed money, plus some training and technical support to each participating school system.

The Maple River Winery in historic downtown Casselton will showcase North Dakota artists year around. We are looking at showcasing 4 or 5 different artists in two month increments for our North Dakota Artist Series. Space will determine how many artists we can showcase. We will not have any similar displays during each exhibit. This past summer we opened our tasting room with tremendous success. The cross section of visitors matches up well for showcasing North Dakota art. We would like to extend an invitation to all North Dakota artists to display their art. Ongoing - Space available will be scheduled on a first come-first served basis. If this activity goes well, we may consider expanding it to include other businesses in Casselton in 2008 to include more art and artists. Our itinerary for each of the two month series include the following: 1st Friday of showing: Free wine and cheese reception, compliments of Maple River Winery from 5pm to 8:30pm. Flavored coffees, jellies, other ND products will also be served. Brochures will be distributed throughout the Fargo-Moorhead metro area promoting each exhibit. The exhibits would need to be set up by the second of the month. Exhibits will need to be taken down on the last day of the second month. Items will be displayed at your risk. We will not insure any items and we will not be responsible for any breakage or thefts. We will be glad to set up any arrangement that will work on your end as well as ours. Some artists have already expressed interest in having their products sold in our tasting room. We expect to sell some artwork in our Pride of Dakota area of our tasting room after the exhibit. We will decide on an individual basis what artwork we will carry in our tasting room. Maple River Winery will promote each exhibit via: 1) Wine Club Newsletter; 2) Web site (www.mapleriverwinery.com); 3) Radio/Print; 4) Walk in traffic; and 5) Casselton Business Association and other organizations. Artists may possibly promote via: 1) Web sites; 2) Word of Mouth; and 3) Potential customers, etc. Artists will be encouraged to be present at the opening Wine and Cheese reception on the first Friday of the exhibit. Items may be sold at our winery during the exhibit providing we receive a commission on each item sold (10% suggested, negotiable). The potential exists to sell via our website as well. Artists will be responsible for any shipping etc. if needed. Our goal is to have 20 exhibits open throughout Casselton by January 2008. If you are interested, please contact Greg Kempel at the Maple River Winery at 701-347-5900 or email to greg@mapleriverwinery.com. We look forward to promoting North Dakota artists.
