UMaine Machias museum management class exhibit opens today
“TIME: Stories of the Past and Echoes of the Future,” an exhibit by UMaine Machias professor Bernie Vinzani’s museum management class, opens today, Nov. 28, 4–6 p.m at the University of Maine Machias Art Gallery on the first floor of Powers Hall.
The exhibit, inspired by T.S. Elliot’s poem “Burnt Notion,” conveys the idea that while living in the present, we can take works from the past and use them to inspire the future. The students from the class’ fall semester selected a piece from the University’s Permanent Collection and then created their own works based on that inspiration. Students used multiple mediums, such as ink and graphite sketchings; paintings with watercolor; photography; and sculptures.
The gallery is open Monday and Friday from 11 a.m.–2 p.m., and Tuesday– Thursday from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. for the remainder of the semester.
