Call for Artists: ARTinME 2026 at the Boothbay Region Art Foundation

The Boothbay Region Art Foundation (BRAF) invites Maine artists to submit work for ARTinME 2026, our fourth annual juried exhibition celebrating the power and presence of large-format art. This highly anticipated exhibition will be on view September 30 through November 7, 2026, at the BRAF Gallery, located at 1 Townsend Avenue, Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

The ARTinME 2026 exhibition is open to full or part-time Maine artists working in large (minimum of 900+ sq. inches; e.g., a 30" x 30" piece) 2D format in various mediums and styles. Frames, if used, will not count towards meeting the size requirement. Small sculptures are also welcome. Whether you're pushing the limits of scale, exploring new ideas, or creating work that deserves room to breathe, ARTinME offers an exciting opportunity for artists throughout the state of Maine to exhibit works on an epic scale.

The Prospectus along with the ARTinME 2026 Submission Form are available for download on the BRAF website, www.boothbayartists.org.
