Maine College of Art names award-winner

ELLSWORTH – The Maine College of Art will present the Maine Community Foundation with its 2004 Art Honors Award for Leadership in Arts Philanthropy at its annual dinner on May 6.

“We are pleased to shine a light on the Maine Community Foundation’s innovative arts philanthropy,” said Christine Vincent, college president. MCF was one of only 10 community foundations in the nation selected to participate in a special five-year Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund initiative, which supported grant-making to bolster local cultural organizations, artists and community audiences for the arts.

Other honorees this year are Vinalhaven Island artist Robert Indiana, who will be recognized for his achievement in visual arts, and Julia’s Gallery for Young Artists at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, honored for leadership in arts education.
