Experience the humanities in Maine! Attend a lecture series, see an exhibit or join a discussion group. This is the Council’s new online calendar. It’s still being developed, and is far from complete, but we encourage you to explore it and let us know what you think. The events listed here are either presented by the Council or by organizations that have been awarded Council grants. Please note that times and venues are subject to change. Please contact the sponsoring organization to confirm event details.
