Kinghorn, UMMA Summer Exhibition Mentioned in BDN Article

George Kinghorn, director and curator of the University of Maine Museum of Art, was cited in a Bangor Daily News article about the Bangor City Council approving a $1,000 matching grant that could allow a 10-foot-tall “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 museum, according to the article. Helper is Bangor’s first recipient of an Individual Artist Grant, and she was encouraged by Kinghorn to apply for the grant through the city, the article states.
