PORTLAND (WGME) — The Portland Museum of Art is expanding and wants you to be involved in the process.
Four architect design teams are sharing their plans, which you can currently see at the museum.
The museum announced back in February plans to overhaul the campus and add 60,000 square feet of space.
Director Mark Bessire says they want to make the process as transparent as possible and get community feedback.
“The vision is more conceptual in that we want to be the center of the arts of our community. We want to be green, and we want to be sure everyone feels like it’s their museum,” Bessire said.
You can see the physical models at the museum until December 11.
To submit feedback head to portlandmuseum.org.
There will reportedly be more listening sessions once a winner is chosen.
