This fall Monson Arts began its first workshops for area high school students in the visual arts (taught by Alan Bray)and writing (taught by Dawn Potter). These have been suspended due to the COVID 19 virus. We will be back! It’s good to be reminded of the importance of creativity and the powerful work that has been made. Here’s a group poem “Our Bouquet” based on a form developed by Afaa M Weaver #monson_arts #monsonarts

Scenes from Wednesday's Not-Open Studios, appropriately sized and spaced. After an abrupt ending, we're so glad that our March residents were able to come together one last time before heading out yesterday. Grateful for the time we got to spend with these amazing folks and to hear that all have journeyed safely home. We have cancelled all programming through May 7 and our office will maintain limited hours until further notice. Please reach out by e-mail to info@monsonarts.org with any inquiries

Tomorrow is the first day of a new residency session and to get ready we've put new @monsonplastic collection bins in our houses and studios. We're excited to support this community recycling start-up that envisions creative uses for Monson's plastic waste including a public art installation of benches throughout town. You can learn more about Precious Plastic Monson and contribute to their current crowdfunding campaign (5 days left!) at preciousplastic.me

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.

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.
