In 2009, Maine VLA enabled over 35 Maine artists to receive over $200,000 worth of legal services. We participated in 7 events, 5 of which were highly educational for creative entrepreneurs. We hope to continually have your support as we provide for Maine's arts communities.
As you walk or ride around, look at all the beauty Maine's artists have brought our State. Making a donation of ANY SIZE is a great way to give back to Maine's arts community, because we are provide foundational support through education and professional development.
