Monson Arts is a residency and workshop program in Monson, Maine. An initiative of Maine’s Libra Foundation, Monson Arts began programming in 2018. Monson, the last town before the 100 Mile Wilderness on the Appalachian Trail, was the home of photographer Berenice Abbott, painter Carl Sprinchorn, and was a center for slate quarrying and furniture making. Monson Arts’ mission is to provide time and space for creative work. This is done through a combination of residencies, workshops, community/school programs and initiatives, and exhibitions.
The Monhegan Artists’ Residency provides free comfortable living quarters, studio space, a stipend of $150 per week, and time for visual artists to reflect on, experiment, or develop their art while living in an artistically historic and beautiful location. Each summer they offer three residencies for artists with strong connections to Maine: two 5-week sessions, and one 2-week session specifically for K-12 visual art teachers.
Surf Point Foundation provides time, space and support for members of the visual arts community to think, connect and create. In keeping with the vision of our founders, arts patron Mary-Leigh Smart and artist Beverly Hallam, Surf Point offers nominated artists and art professionals three-week live-work residencies in a boldly Modernist home on the coast of York, Maine.
The Artist Toolbox is made possible by major support from the Roxanne Quimby Foundation.

In partnership with the York Land Trust, we are offering a guided meditation led by artist-in-residence Naoko Wowsugi.
Wowsugi calls for a collective healing experience through gong baths. In this gong baths meditation, participants are invited to soak up the benefits of the healing vibrations of sound by lying down and getting comfortable with yoga mats, blankets, and/or pillows. This is your ceremony, you don’t need to do anything except allow yourself to spend this time.
This program will be held outside on a patio at the Surf Point Foundation property, so please dress accordingly. Bring a yoga mat or picnic blanket to rest on, and a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
