Center for Arts & Ecology

The Center for Arts and Ecology at the Desert of Maine is a nonprofit that operates onsite at the iconic Freeport attraction. The “desert” has long stood as a visual reminder of the power of nature, made visible by the communities of plants that are actively restoring the land after the intense ecological disturbance of historic overfarming. Through immersive arts and ecology programming, our mission is to inspire people to channel the wonder they feel in the presence of nature and the creative process into meaningful action for future generations.

Programs

The unique landscape at the Desert of Maine is a living, breathing classroom and an endless source of creative inspiration. We host school field trips, homeschool and afterschool programs, and arts and ecology workshops for both children and adults.
