Since founding in 2015, TEMPOart commissions and programs have attracted:
- 500,000 visits
- 15,000 event attendees
- 4,000 youth served by programs
This Giving Tuesday, we are reflecting on TEMPOart’s 2023 commission of Carousel Cosmos, by Chris Miller, installed on the Western Promenade.
- Catch a glimpse of the unforgettable experiences youth had this summer during our programs
- Experience some of the magic of the carousel in a recent video by Buoy Media.
- Take Carousel Cosmos home with you by downloading your own Interdimensional Craft Kit, developed by artist Chris Miller in partnership with chickadeeds.
In other news, TEMPOart was honored to receive Coffee By Design’s 2023 Rebel Blend award, along with four other organizations serving artists in Maine. We are also pleased to share the results of the latest Arts & Prosperity Study from Americans for the Arts, highlighting the positive impact public art programs like ours have on our economy, community, and health.
As a community organization, we are excited to be developing a new strategic plan and invite your input. If you have two minutes, we would truly appreciate your response to our audience survey. Your responses will help shape our shared future and inspire our collective imagination.
We hope you’ll consider supporting temporary public art that sparks dialogue, builds community, and inspires our collective imagination this Giving Tuesday.
May the coming weeks be filled with boundless imagination, creativity, and the magic of Carousel Cosmos. We look forward to announcing our 2024 project plans soon!
