The Tides Institute & Museum of Art is seeking artists, galleries, and cultural institutions and sponsors around the Passamaquoddy Bay area to join the upcoming 2022 edition of Artsipelago, a double-sided printed map and cultural guide and online directory.
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the 2022 printed edition of Artsipelago will be launching with newly-added Passamaquoddy place names to better reflect the cultural heritage of the region. 6,000 printed copies of the map with the cultural guide will be distributed around the region, including visitor information centers in both the U.S. and Canada.
Artsipelago is the only cultural guide of its kind in the area, offering significant potential visibility for artists, galleries, and cultural institutions that participate. Each listing will be marked on a full-size map of the bay and detailed on the backside of the map.
TIMA collaborated with the Passamaquoddy Tribal Historic Preservation Office to accurately record significant place names throughout the region. 2,000 copies of the map – with the cultural directory omitted – will be available for purchase through TIMA and the Passamaquoddy Tribal Historic Preservation Office.
To be included in the 2022 edition of Artsipelago as an artist, gallery, cultural institution or sponsor, please contact Lura Jackson at Ljackson@tidesinstitute.org. Sponsors who wish to support the project will be featured prominently in the guide and in the online directory.
