The PMA is a proud member of the Maine Art Museum Trail and participant in this important series. Museums are at a moment of reckoning. Immense social, political, and financial pressure is testing the foundations of institutions, prompting examination of history, the need for change, and the process to acknowledge, repair, and heal. 

This spring, The Maine Art Museum Trail is presents a digital program series that explores the notion of “making a home” and what that means for institutions and the communities they exist within, bringing to light the stories that have not been told and reflect on the changing museum field.
