Bridging Borders, Exploring Boundaries
Located directly on the U.S./Canada border between New England and the Atlantic Provinces, the Tides Institute & Museum of Art weaves together a range of regional and international interests, resources, and initiatives to build critical mass, synergy and connectedness.
National ArtPlace Funding
TIMA has received two awards from the national ArtPlace initiative based in New York City that is a partnership of 16 of the largest private foundations in the U.S.. In the first seven years of ArtPlace's existence, TIMA remains the only institution in Maine to have received ArtPlace funding.

TIMA's StudioWorks Artist-in-Residence Program is now in its sixth year.

Panoramas

Collections
TIMA's collections are extensive and wide ranging – from historical to contemporary, from the 18th century to today. The collections have a particular focus on art, broadly conceived, but also have strong interests with architecture and history. The focuses of the collections are on the U.S./Canada northeast coast with connections to the broader world.
