Tides Institute & Museum of Art, Eastport

Tides Institute & Museum of Art is a cross border (U.S./Canada) cultural institution and museum with a focus on the greater international Passamaquoddy Region in particular, but with a wider view of the cultural ties between Maine, New England and the Atlantic Provinces. Crossing disciplinary boundaries as well as geographical borders, the Tides Institute involves art, history, photography and architecture. The Tides Institute is as interested in fostering new works as it is in collecting existing works and is developing printmaking and letterpress facilties as part of this effort.
