Youth Art Month

Youth Art Month Artwork Pick Up Information
 
Thank you for being so patient and flexible as the PMA figured out how Youth Art Month Pick Up would happen. We are very happy that we could have YAM on view for an extra month to share this incredible display of youth art with more audiences.
 
We will begin de-installing YAM on July 29th and will begin pick up times for artwork on August 6th. Due to new restrictions in the PMA building because of COVID-19, you MUST have a reserved date and time in order to pick up the artwork. We cannot accommodate drop-ins or people who do not reserve a date and time ahead of time. In order to reserve a date and time, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/9FEcRM69FytyAa8L6). Someone from the PMA will contact you to confirm your date/time - your date/time is not confirmed until someone from PMA confirms. Please do your best to adhere to your scheduled time.
 
Guidelines for a Successful YAM Pick-Up
Please schedule a date and time to pick up your youth’s artwork HERE Come to the PMA’s Loading Dock entrance, located at 99 Spring Street When you come down the driveway, you will see a tent set up to the left. Museum staff will be there. Please drive your car into one of the parking spaces near the tent. When you park, please remain in your car. If possible, please put on a mask and then roll down your window Unlock your car doors We will ask you for the name of the student artist you are picking up for and then will place the artwork either in the backseat or the trunk (whichever you prefer.)  
You must remain in your vehicle throughout the entire process. We unfortunately cannot allow anyone to come into the building for any circumstances.
 
Please call the PMA Loading Dock (207) 775-6148 x3322 if you are running late or if you experience any last-minute delays.
 
If you need to make changes to your pickup time, need to make special arrangements, or have any questions, please email Meghan Quigley Graham at mquigley@portlandmuseum.org

Elise Pelletier (Scarborough High School), is our state-wide coordinator and is eager to hear about your local/regional plans to celebrate quality arts education programs in your schools.

The Maine Education Association Youth Art Month Celebration

​
Questions can be addressed to Lisa Ingraham.

Teachers who are both MEA (Maine Education Association) and MAEA (Maine Art Education Association) members may submit one piece of student artwork to celebrate Youth Art Month.  The artwork will be framed by the MEA and will hang in the Maine Education Association office in Augusta.  Many teachers, MEA employees, and other visitors who go to the MEA office really enjoy viewing the student artwork. Families enjoy the art opening reception and appreciate the beautifully framed artwork. This is a great way to showcase what we do.
  • MEA will accept 30 works of student art on a first-come basis.
  • Size limit: length + width cannot exceed 30 inches.
  • Contact Lisa if you are interested in submitting work.
  • Lisa will confirm your current MAEA and MEA membership status.  Once you are notified, please mail your student artwork ASAP.
  • Lisa will coordinate the collection of work.
  • If you sign up, she will be saving your spot.  December cancellations do not allow enough time to find a replacement.
  • The show will hang from February through November in the Maine Education Association Office in Augusta.
  • Only submit work that can hang for the entire length of the exhibit.
  • You will need to pick up the artwork in the Augusta office by the first week in December annually and return the framed work to the student.
  • Lisa will send invitations out to participating teachers to pass on to their students in January.
