Maine College of Art MFA Program
The Master of Fine Art in Studio Arts at MECA is a two-year, full-time, low-residency program focused on the development of interdisciplinary, research-based practices articulated through critical and curatorial writing. The curriculum is taught by core, visiting, and advisory faculty who work closely with students both on and off campus. Residencies at MECA include two full summer intensives, two shorter winter intensives, and a week in May for graduating students who install and present their thesis work in the galleries of the ICA. During the non-resident winter and spring semesters, students continue coursework with MECA faculty and are also partnered with local advisors who work one-on-one with each student to expand their studio and project-based work. The MFA at MECA nurtures the development of more rigorous and refined relationships between three key aspects of creative production: stimulus, practice, and analysis are seen as mutually interdependent forces that continually shape artistic experimentation and response.
Research Centre for Studies of Surrealism and its Legacies
Surrealism occupies a unique position in the intellectual and cultural history of the twentieth century. Marking the crisis in post-Enlightenment thought and active in every sphere of creative life, it has been at the heart of debates about modernism and postmodernism. The Centre provides a valuable focus for the many individual researchers in other universities and for museums with interests in surrealism, consolidating existing scholarship on surrealism and identifying vital new areas of research such as the relationship with science. Drawing together a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and allowing for productive interplay between historical analysis and contemporary artistic and theoretical reflection, the Centre is concerned to redefine understanding of a movement that is critical to debates about the avant-garde. It engages with surrealism's many legacies in recent art and cultural theory, and in collaboration with Tate will generate outputs of value to scholars, students, artists and the museum-going public.
The Drawing Center
The Drawing Center has been a unique and dynamic part of New York City's cultural life since 1977. The only not-for-profit institution in the country to focus on the exhibition of drawings, it was established to demonstrate the significance and diversity of drawings throughout history, to juxtapose work by master figures with work by emerging and under-recognized artists, and to stimulate public dialogue on issues of art and culture.
Hett Art Gallery and Museum
The Hett Art Gallery and Museum was dedicated in 1954. Its mission is the preservation and display of art and artifacts of the Modern Spiritualist Movement.

Open to all visitors at the Hett Art Gallery and Museum is the Mother Caberina Meditation Room. The Hett Gallery classrooms are utilized for lecture series and seminary classes focused on metaphysical and spiritual content.
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia: Mütter Museum
The Mütter Museum was founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies. Today, it serves as a valuable resource for educating and enlightening the public about our medical past and telling important stories about what it means to be human. The Mütter Museum embodies The College of Physicians of Philadelphia 's mission to advance the cause of health, and uphold the ideals and heritage of medicine.
TO GRENNA MUSEUM - THE ANDRÉE EXPEDITION - POLAR CENTRE
The Grenna Museum Foundation and the Andrée Museum were formed in 1977 by the Grenna Local Folklore Society and the Municipality of Jönköping. The Local Folklore Society has been extremely active since 1912, and has gradually built up a collection of objects and buildings, which together with various forms of activities have created a rich ensemble. Up until the formation of the Foundation, activities were mainly carried out by volunteers. In the 1970s, it became increasingly apparent that a full-time employee was needed. The first person recruited by the Foundation was Olof Fong - a grand old man within the protection of Swedish monuments and folklore, who during his time drove museum questions and tourism forwards within the region.
Museum of Morning Photography
MoMP owns and protects over 1000 mourning photographs and negatives, circa 1840 to present. With a modest budget, the Museum actively acquires new items on an ongoing basis. In addition to photography, there is also an archive of pertinent literature and memorial ephemera. It is the goal of the Museum to keep this type of photography accessible to the public.
