Maine Public is very pleased to once again be the Atmospheric Media Sponsor for the 2025 Maine Science Festival (MSF). Held in Bangor each March, this year's festival takes place from March 19 to March 23. Like an art festival or film festival, the Maine Science Festival has over seventy events and activities over five days, all focused on science in Maine. Check out the entire program of events HERE.
The MSF is an amazing celebration of all aspects of science and fosters a connection to science for people from an amazing variety of backgrounds. Individuals who may not have formerly seen themselves as 'interested’ in science or even identified as 'scientists' walk away from each festival inspired to pursue new passions, ask new questions, and communicate the value of science as practitioners themselves. There is guaranteed to be something of interest for everyone!
For more details, updates, and information, visit the festival’s website at mainesciencefestival.org.

If you are in or around Portland, Maine in March stop in Richard Boyd Art Gallery to see a great annual exhibition of visual art created by a group of highly regarded, award winning, nationally renowned, and established women artists with different perspectives and interests joined by their love of creating art.
Visual art created by women is underrepresented in museums and galleries around the globe. So, let’s change this. Help recognize and celebrate women and the contributions they make to the arts and our society on a daily basis.
The exhibition showcases traditional and contemporary paintings and sculptures created by women using innovative and conventional time-honored techniques and includes a spectacular collection of original paintings created by artists’ Amy Bickford – gouache, Deena S. Ball – watercolor and oil, Patricia Chandler – oil and cold wax medium, Carrin Culotta – oil, Wyn Foland – mixed media, Jane Herbert – acrylic, Jen Pagnini – oil, Felicity Sidwell – oil, and stunning unique and limited-edition sculptures by Laura Freeman.
The exhibit is open free of charge from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from March 1st through March 30th, 2025. Additional days and times by chance or appointment.
