Project Freewill was founded in 2019 & is a fully incorporated nonprofit located in an historic baptist church from 1837 in New Portland, Maine.

Our mission is to amplify the voices of underground artists in Maine & to unite our community through art & activism. 

​

With your help & donations, we are currently repairing & renovating the building. We plan to reopen Summer 2022 with a range of events showcasing the work of underground artists, poets, activists & musicians. Until then, check out our Podcast & Radio Shows.

​

We help artists from falling through the cracks by getting their works to the world, & by giving them a chance to speak out & speak loud.

Renovations @ Freewill

Thanks to a generous donation from the PMG Foundation & the hard work of our volunteer handyman, we just installed a wood stove.

Next up, insulating the attic so we can continue building repairs and renovations.

Solving the problems of Reentry & Recovery in Maine 

Project Freewill is part of a community coalition of recovery specialists, abolitionists, educators, health care workers, prisoner advocacy groups & law enforcement working together to try to help previously incarcerated individuals reenter society. We are currently attending meetings to learn how to serve as a resource hub for reentry & recovery in rural western Maine. 

​

We're also brainstorming with local groups on how to create a much needed homeless shelter in our area, and on ways to end the stigma around incarceration & addiction.
