The Tides Institute and Museum of Art (TIMA) TIMA operates as a cultural catalyst — acting as a cultural resource, facilitator, and collaborator working with a wide range of partners on both sides of the U.S/Canada border. TIMA curates three to four new exhibitions annually, as well as exhibits works from its permanent collections, which focus on the international Passamaquoddy region and the broader U.S./Canada northeast coast. Open year round, TIMA is located in the former Eastport Savings Bank Building, an 1887 National Register of Historic Places anchor property in downtown Eastport, Maine.
