Office Hours w/ Artist-in-Residence Peter Bruun
The University of Southern Maine Art Department is excited to welcome Spring 2026 Artist-in-Residence Peter Bruun.
Working under the aegis of Bruun Studios, Peter Bruun is an artist, writer, curator, and cultural organizer whose work spans painting, drawing, publishing, and community-based art. For more than 30 years, his studio practice has fueled projects that bring art into conversation with social justice, collaboration, and collective care—ranging from exhibitions and public programs to experimental publications and artist-led organizations.
As part of his residency, Peter will host open Office Hours in his Academy Building studio throughout the spring semester. Students are encouraged to stop by to talk about artwork, creative process, career paths, organizing, or anything else on your mind. Whether you’re looking for feedback, conversation, or just curious to see how an artist works, walk-ins are welcome.
