Executive Director Organization Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) catalyzes new developments in contemporary art by curating innovative exhibitions and education programs. Realizing its mission through direct engagement with artists and the public, CMCA opens new channels for interaction and discussion, expanding access to art, artists, and the creative process. CMCA has been supporting, exhibiting, and sustaining arts and artists with ties to Maine since its founding in 1952. In that time, CMCA has evolved from a newcomer presenting shows in barns and backrooms to establish itself as the state's preeminent contemporary arts organization. CMCA has hosted an array of exhibitions featuring internationally known artists and provided support to a myriad of emerging talents, elevating them to a broader platform. Originally established as an artists' cooperative known as Maine Coast Artists, the museum was founded as a collaborative endeavor driven by excitement not only for Maine's rich artistic history but also as a means to showcase the work of painters, sculptors, and photographers working contemporaneously. For its first fifteen years, CMCA operated without a dedicated facility, relying on a succession of volunteer curators for its exhibition curation. Early exhibitions were held at the town office, in a barn, and in a potato barrel storage loft and featured prominent future luminaries, including Alex Katz, Louise Nevelson, and Fairfield Porter, to name a few. In 2016, CMCA relocated to a striking contemporary facility designed by Toshiko Mori, an internationally known, New York‑based architect who has a home on the nearby island of North Haven. The new building, located in the central district of Rockland, emphasizes Maine's legendary light and the design is unlike anything else in the state. Accessible and inviting, the central courtyard is a fully glass‑enclosed open space, seamlessly linking the art and creativity inside to the community like an open embrace. The 11,500‑square‑foot building includes three exhibition galleries, one of which doubles as a lecture hall/performance space, an ArtLab classroom, and a gift shop. Perfectly situated in the town's Arts District, CMCA continues its mission as a current and future driving force for carrying forward Maine's exceptional legacy in American art on a whole new scale. Annual visitation has grown rapidly from 9,000 in its previous location in a former firehouse to more than 40,000 in the new facility. For more than sixty years, CMCA has supported, sustained, and showcased the art and artists connected to Maine - offering year‑round programming and exhibitions and bringing art to the community through outreach, education, and ArtLabs. CMCA's strategic plan is focused on continued growth and increasing diversity in its programming. From community engagement and work with local children to exhibitions and events, CMCA fosters artists at every stage of their careers and serves as a venue for observing and appreciating the ongoing evolution of Maine's influence on the trajectory of contemporary art. CMCA's annual Artful Living Tour spotlights exceptional homes and collections in the Midcoast region, and its Distinguished Lectures showcase the leading artists and cultural thinkers of today. The annual Art Party and Art You Love online auction support CMCA's educational programming and exhibitions. Recent and upcoming exhibitions at CMCA include Shinique Smith - Continuous Poem, Jeane Cohen - This Watching Land, Alison Hildreth - Darkness Visible, Gamaliel Rodriguez - (In) Hospitable, Carla Weeks - On This Island, Sam Finkelstein & Duncan Hewitt - Good Morning Midnight, and Wilder Alison, Sachiko Akiyama, Leon Benn, Jordan Carey, Diana Cherbuliez, Carol Eisenberg, and Hong Hong - Let the World In. CMCA has a 12‑member Board of Trustees led by Chair Pamela Wise and a full‑time staff of eight. Total operating revenues in fiscal 2024 are budgeted to be $850,000, including $494,000 in contributions, $206,000 from program services, and $150,000 in other revenue. Community Rockland, Maine, lauded for its natural beauty, is situated on the magnificent shoreline of Penobscot Bay and the Gulf of Maine. Rockland is the gateway of the Midcoast region and the Knox County seat. Recently designated a micropolitan area, this coastal community of more than 7,000 permanent residents attracts summer residents from New York City, Boston, and beyond, including over 2,000,000 national and international visitors annually. The commercial center of the Midcoast region, Rockland has a rich history of shipbuilding, fishing, mining, and quarrying dating back to the early eighteenth century. Tourism has become the dominant industry, resulting in significant development of the central district with many historic inns, fine dining establishments, and cultural offerings. Known as the Lobster Capital of the World, Rockland is the center of the state's lobster fishing industry and hosts the annual Maine Lobster Festival. Other culinary delicacies spring from a wide array of local organic farms, mills, orchards, wineries, and microbreweies. Small but mighty, Rockland's Main Street features numerous unique businesses, including bookstores, gift shops, an art supply store, restaurants, organic markets, clothing stores, and art galleries, showcasing both fine art and Maine's renowned hand‑made crafts. The area offers a vibrant selection of arts and culture experiences, including the Bay Chamber Concerts series, the North Atlantic Blues Festival, Farnsworth Art Museum, and the historic Strand Theatre. With four distinct seasons, the Rockland region offers year‑round recreation and leisure activities, including some of the best hiking trails in the State of Maine. The iconic Rockland Breakwater, a mile‑long 700,000‑ton granite path completed in 1889 leading to the historic Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse, Rockland Harbor Trail, Beech Hill Preserve, Windjammer's Wharf Path, Camden Hills State Park, and George's Highland Path offer breathtaking panoramic views. The Camden Snow Bowl and Camden Hills State Park are ideal settings for cross‑country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and snowmobiling. The region's coastal waters offer hundreds of miles of spectacular seaside experiences, including boating and fishing. Penobscot Bay is known internationally as one of the best recreational sailing grounds in the world and day trips provide access to the Bay and many nearby islands.
