• To establish a year 'round Political Arts Residency Program. Participants will receive room, board, access to facilities and a creative, critical and interactive atmosphere for focusing on anti-copyright, visually oriented activist and popular education projects. Prints and reproductions of work produced during the residencies may be distributed through the Beehive, as a means to support this program. This will provide a rare opportunity for artists/activists to receive this type of support, as arts residencies are usually reserved for those with extensive portfolios or resumes and often are exclusively geared to one, or the other, types of work.
  
  
• To begin work on a Maine based graphics campaign:"Reflecting the Global in the Local: Maine Issues Mini-Poster Project." We will dedicate space for residencies focused on production of anti-copyright graphic materials specific to local, turning-point Maine issues, as well as for use in struggles that are taking place worldwide. Examples of issues are: water privatization, sprawl, sustainable energy, domestic violence, Wal-Mart, counter-recruitment, liquified natural gas ports, aquaculture, sustainable transportation, community radio, genetic engineering, immigrant rights, corporate personhood, preservation of Granges, etc. Participants for these "mini" graphics campaigns will work with partnering organizations that are located in Maine for collaborative design and distribution. Images produced will also be made available for use internationally through the Beehive's distribution networks.
