FARMINGTON — Twice Sold Tales, in partnership with the Free Art Initiative, is calling for entries for the thematic exhibition “Free Art: of the Unconventional Eccentric,” scheduled to be on view April 1-30 in the Twice Sold Tales gallery showcase window, 155 Main St.
This exhibition seeks artworks that question the ideals and limitations of “traditional fine arts” and explores some or all of the following questions: should art be free of monetary value?; is the act of creating a freeing experience?; should art be released from the chains that bind it, the high and fine art world — and what does this look like?
Artwork of all media is welcome.
Artists can submit up to five works in any medium, 2D, 3D or time-based. There is no fee to apply.
To apply, visit docs.google.com. Submissions are due by midnight Friday, March 14; curatorial decisions will be made by Tuesday, March 18.
For more information, email nicholas.demarchi@maine.edu.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
