UMMA extends free admission with support from Bangor-based firm
The University of Maine Museum of Art in downtown Bangor will extend its free admission policy for the public in 2016 and 2017 as the result of a gift from Deighan Wealth Advisors.
The Bangor-based wealth management firm has a history of supporting the arts in the region and state. It is a longtime sponsor of the museum’s education and exhibition programs as a member of UMMA’s Community Partners Program.
“As a community outreach resource for the University of Maine, the museum’s ability to offer free admission to the public is vital in our efforts to remove barriers that may prevent all citizens from enjoying the museum’s collections and changing exhibitions,” says George Kinghorn, UMMA director and curator. “We are very grateful for Deighan Wealth Advisors’ support of free admission. Because of its generous sponsorship, individuals, schoolchildren, special needs groups and others can visit often, view original works of art and have a significant museum experience.”
