The $3 million grant will be added to the Andrew Wyeth Memorial Endowment, income from which supports maintenance and operation of four of the museum’s properties: the Wyeth Center; Wyeth Study Center and Wyeth Research Center in Rockland; and the Olson House in Cushing, site of Andrew Wyeth’s iconic painting “Christina’s World.”

On Saturday, May 30, the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland will open "Andy and Kosti," an exhibition of paintings by Andrew Wyeth and photographs by Kosti Ruohomaa, which will be on display in the museum's Wyeth Center through November 1.

The exhibition explores the friendship between Maine artists Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) and Kosti Ruohomaa (1913-1961). Both were famous for their iconic depictions of Maine life and the people who called Maine home, from farmers to fishermen.
