UMMA mentioned in Wall Street Journal article
The University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor was mentioned in The Wall Street Journal about the Maine Art Museum Trail titled, “Hunting Beauty on Maine’s Art Museum Trail.”
“…I moved on to the University of Maine museum, which concentrates on contemporary art. There, I found four exhibitions squeezed into a small space. One gallery contained selections from the permanent collection by Estes, Wyeth, Abbott, Katz and Marin. None stood out, so I entered “Blind Spot,” a show of work by Anna Hepler, said to be one of Maine’s best-known living artists. Ms. Hepler makes soft sculptures and large, patterned woodcuts. They relate to nature, but as with much contemporary art, they are also about process and materials. For example, she uses plastic bags to make crocheted pieces.”
