Open Educational Resources
In January 2010 the Department of Education awarded funding through the Title II-D Enhancing Education through Technology - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Competitive Grant monies. Maine Alliance for Arts Education was awarded a grant to support the identification and to encourage the use of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in the Visual and Performing Arts. The OERs that the team of arts educators identified are linked to Maine's 2007 Learning Results: Parameters for Essential Instruction. The OERs include a variety of resources including lesson plans, student interactives, tutorials for arts based tools, videos and more. (All files PDF)

Lunder Maine Student Membership Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The Lunder Foundation of Portland Maine has recently endowed The Lunder Maine Student Membership Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This magnificent gift from the Lunder Foundation provides MFA access free-of-charge for all Maine students. It represents the Lunder Foundation’s commitment to education and to the people of Maine, and it is a meaningful endorsement of the MFA as one of the world’s great encyclopedic art museums. The Program allows Maine students of all ages in public and private school, as well as those who are home-schooled, to visit the MFA free of charge. All elementary, middle, and high school principals and teachers should be aware of this opportunity. As of July 1, 2011, any school group leader can visit the MFA’s website to request a visit: http://www.mfa.org/visit/groups/youth. The school’s Maine address will automatically qualify it for a waived admission fee. The Lunder Maine Student Membership Program applies to all of the Museum’s Self-Guided Visits and Guided Tours (see full description of offerings: http://www.mfa.org/visit/groups/all-tours.
