FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington Emery Community Arts Center invites artists to submit their work for consideration in the upcoming premiere online exhibition: “Detour.” The unique online exhibition will be on display from Thursday, June 25, through Thursday, July 23. All submissions are due by midnight on Wednesday, June 17. Artists may submit up to five works. There is no fee to apply.
