The Maine Expansion Arts grant program, a part of the Maine Community Foundation, supports arts organizations and programs in Maine that serve rural communities or Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, focusing on areas with limited access to the arts. Starting in 2022, the program offers two tracks: one for organizations serving rural communities and another for organizations led by and/or serving BIPOC communities. This initiative aims to ensure the future of Maine's artistic traditions through strategic support to these key areas.
