Sunday Telegram story features Art Gallery's 'Maine Women Pioneers II: Vanguard'

The Maine Sunday Telegram on Nov. 18, 2012 featured a story on the UNE Art Gallery's "Maine Women Pioneers II: Vanguard," which features avant-garde, experimental and innovative works by nine Maine artists who offer insights into the future using mixed media, conceptual installation, performance and video elements. 

Vanguard is the first of a series of four exhibitions that is striving to define the national impact of leading Maine women art pioneers of our age.

Telegram writer Bob Keyes describes the show as "fresh, witty and probing. It is less about visual stimulation and more about connecting people with ideas and concepts."

Art Gallery Director Anne Zill tells the Telegram that "When this cycle of four shows is complete next summer, 50 women will have been featured ... These artists should stand the test of time. Fifty years from now, when we look back, we'll be celebrating 50 women artists who are working now, whose work has stood the test of time."  Read the story.

"Vanguard," the first of the four in the series, runs through Dec. 16th.
