Winter on Flat Top Mountain Maine

BIDDEFORD, Maine - Oct. 17, 2017 - PRLog -- John Ripton PhD, a photographer and curator with UMVA, described the work of the upcoming fall exhibit at Creative Portland's gallery as "an outstanding representation of the local art scene, featuring some of the most accomplished artists in the Portland area. Many of the works are large; some are figurative and others abstract. I have to add that Dinah's energy, skillful direction, and artistic acumen facilitated this very rewarding collaboration."

Executive Director Dinah Minot, who is celebrating her first anniversary with Creative Portland, assembled a professional curatorial team to review and select the art for the fall show. She engaged leaders from cultural organizations including Maine College of Art, Portland Public Library, UMVA (Union Maine Visual Artists), Black Artist Forum, Think Tank, the Dorothea & Leo Rabkin Foundation and independent curators and artists.

As the city's official nonprofit arts agency, Creative Portland opened its doors in the arts district earlier this year. Executive Director Dinah Minot brings a wealth of experience in the arts to Portland. Minot has produced Hollywood films and was Talent Chief for NBC's Saturday Night Live. A dynamic arts advocate, artist and events promoter, Minot's efforts to promote the arts in Portland are producing results.
