UMMA Summer Exhibition Advanced in BDN Article

The Bangor Daily News reported Bangor’s Business and Economic Development Committee approved a $1,000 Individual Artist Grant that could allow a 10-foot-tall “monumental fiberglass buoy-like floating sculpture” to be anchored in the Kenduskeag Stream in downtown Bangor this summer. The buoy, created by Eastport artist Anna Helper, will be part of her exhibition on display from June through September at the University of Maine Museum of Art, which is located next to the Kenduskeag Stream between Central and State streets, according to the article. Helper told the BDN she hopes the piece will draw people to the museum.
