Monson Arts is at Greenville Consolidated School today with science teacher, Isaac Crabtree and visiting artist Sara Falcone from The Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT. Sara will be working with a group of Isaac's engineering students, sharing with them some creative uses for 3D printers and even some machines she has built herself. She will also be visiting students at Sedomocha school in Dover Foxcroft and Forest Hills School in Jackman while she is in the area this week.

The results are in: Monson Arts was second in today's snow sculpture competition but took home the trophies for most people on a sled in the "Anything that Slides" race featuring this artful craft assembled from the box our ping pong table came in 🏓🏆 #thinkoutsidethebox #definitivelysecondplace #monsonarts #monsonartsresidency #snowroller #monsonmaine #joola

Before they plowed the streets, they rolled them to pack the snow. Learn all about it and other things that used to go on the snow (like "kicksleds") during Snowroller Day in Monson- a town wide winter celebration this Saturday. The Monson Historical Society will be hosting author Jeffrey Ryan who will speak about his book "Hermit: The Mysterious Life of Jim Whyte" at 2PM at the Monson Arts gallery. Lots of activities and the snowroller will be on display all day long.

Excited to be featured in @mrstardifsartroom this week. As part of our programs with local schools, we have partnered with Sedomocha Middle School art teacher Bobbi Tardif to bring visiting artist, Sarah Doremus @teagoblet22 to her classroom to work with students this week and next. Bobbi has put together an amazing new space for metalworking with her students and we couldn't be more pleased to work with her to offer this unique opportunity. #monsonarts #sedomochaschool #community #mainearts #metals #monson_arts

Planning for Monson Arts began in October 2017 and look how far we’ve come... over 150 residents in visual art, writing, and mixed media; workshops and programs for area schools. This month Artistic Director Stuart Kestenbaum, who designed the program, will become Senior Advisor and Program Manager Dan Bouthot will become Director. Here’s a ceremonial passing of the frisbee! #monson_arts #monsonarts #artistsinresidence #artsinmaine #artistsresidencies @stukestenbaum

A great time lapse video of Alan Bray's high school art program today. Alan led students in the creation of a large collaborative drawing inspired by forms found in nature: branches, meanders, spirals, waves, spheres, tessellations.

Well, that was fast. Even when you know it's coming, winter can really sneak up on you. We'll have the sidewalks clear for our final Open Studios event of the year next Wednesday, November 20. Come out from 3-5PM for one last visit before the studios go into hibernation. Winter residencies start February 2- if we don't see our shadow.

Here is a group poem composed by students in our high school creative writing program led by poet, Dawn Potter. Selected students from six area schools have been coming to Monson two days each month to work intensively with Dawn as well as painter Alan Bray who is leading an art workshop. The program runs throughout the school year and will culminate with an exhibit in May at our gallery and a publication of student writings.
