Maine’s artist and farming communities are vibrant, idealistic groups, both key to our state’s unique sense of place. We believe that that artists can use the power of their artistic voices to effect social change. The premise of this project is simple; we’ll be connecting ten Maine artists with ten CSA farmers in central Maine (within roughly 30-40 miles of Augusta), and asking them to get to know each other well over the course of the 2012 growing season. The ten selected artists will create art inspired by their farmers’ lives, work, landscapes, challenges and ideals.
