Our Mission
Supporting Artists, Building Community
Our mission is to support artists and the arts as agents of personal, institutional, and community change. We do this by creating and maintaining free workspaces and apartments in Castine, Maine, for visiting artists, and by supporting meaningful opportunities for public interaction with our artists and programs. We aim to connect community with new ideas, perspectives, and approaches as a way of weaving vibrancy, resilience, and social connection into the fabric of our daily lives.
What We Do
Annex Arts offers residencies to visual, media, literary, and performing artists. We offer free space to live and work on the coast of Maine during the months of June, July, and August and design and run free public programs inspired by our visiting and local artists and their work all summer long.
