In the Bedroom (2001)
Hard Tellin’… is less an attempt to define Maine, or Maine in the movies, than an opportunity to celebrate four great films that accomplish something most art should aspire to: they capture the ineffable in a place and its people at a particular moment in time. They get at something unique and a bit hard to define about us. They feel, for lack of a better word, honest.
This year's Youth Art Month showcases original artworks by K-12 students from across Maine. Featuring pieces from more than 70 schools, the exhibition reflects the diversity of the state’s urban and rural communities. The work will be on view from February 26 through March 30 in the PMA’s Lower Ground Floor, with free admission for all visitors.
