The PMA is committed to collaborating with local organizations to foster meaningful partnerships and create unique experiences that help advance arts and culture in our community. Partners include Portland Public Schools, Indigo Arts Alliance, the Portland Symphony Orchestra, Portland Ballet, Akomawt Educational Initiative, A Company of Women, Bicycle Coalition of Maine, Learning Works, Maine Art Education Association, Maine Humanities Council, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), NAACP-Portland, Maine Jewish Film Festival, Maine Youth Rock Orchestra, The Telling Room, and many others, demonstrating our continued dedication to engaging disparate organizations throughout the greater Portland region.
The PMA is pleased to offer the Homer Colby Fellowship as a means of supporting Colby College’s educational mission, and as part of the museum’s Art for All mission. The Homer Colby Fellow works closely with Curatorial and Learning and Community Collaboration staff on the ongoing reinterpretation of the Winslow Homer Studio and initiatives related to audience building and accessibility. Rising sophomore, junior, senior, or graduating senior students at Colby College are eligible to apply each spring through Davis Connects.
The Homer Colby Fellow at the Portland Museum of Art is supported by the Lunder Homer Education Fund.
Educational outreach and the PMA Learn page are made possible by the Madelyn Busker Cohen Fund.
