Speaker of the Day: Mike Mansfield/Maine Media College
President and CEO of Maine Media, started just a year ago but was married here some years ago. Mike became aware of Maine Media when he viewed the work of some of the photography instructors. Maine Media began in 1973 for photographers and film. A not for profit creative institution that skills and master degree work. A host for visual story tellers, Maine Media has a wonderful history and been a part of the artistic community of Maine. Many pillars of American art in the early 20th century spent time in Maine. The attraction for Mike was the long tradition of teaching and inspiring hosts of students; influencing the field of visual culture. School will be starting up again in July, looking forward to getting back into teaching. 2023 will be the 50th anniversary for the school. 1750 students participated virtually last year. 800 students will be on campus this year (less than normal). Student range from 14 – 94!
