Hype for the Future 62N: Town of Littleton, Maine

Introduction

The Town of Littleton is located at the southern end of Aroostook County, Maine, and is home to the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum. Traditionally, the most notable feature of agriculture in the Aroostook Valley was specifically potato farming as was appropriate for the climate of the region. Southern Aroostook was very similar to much of the eastern portion of the County in terms of cultural heritage, yet quite distinct from the culture of the Saint John Valley or the Acadian heritage of the region.

Solar System Model

Along United States Route 1, the University of Maine-Presque Isle has featured a solar system model for highway travelers, showcasing the relative distances of the planet from a baseline relatively close to the area where UMaine-Presque Isle reaches Route 1. The highway is largely two lanes in the region, particularly in the more rural areas, and is predominantly directed from north to south.

Hype for the Future 52H: The Prom Experience

Preamble

After researching the Berkshire venue of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, novaTopFlex has asked the venue about how best to support an art exhibit specifically dedicated to the prom experience of novaTopFlex. The exhibit shall include all the personal feelings as well as all the fears of judgment at the promenade, including, though not limited to, the obvious fears that result from violating tradition in a traditionally-coded event such as the promenade.

Location

The Prom Experience of novaTopFlex shall be an exhibit located at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art under ideal circumstances. The Porches Inn at Mass MoCA is an important place to stay while effectively remaining on campus overnight. Of all the contemporary arts venues in the United States, the location in North Adams is the largest such location by count of population. Though North Adams serves the role of the smallest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, novaTopFlex is specifically targeting a designated area essentially centered around North Adams while also expanding throughout all of New England, as well as throughout the eastern side of the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly regions such as the Hudson Valley, the Susquehanna Valley, and the northern half of the State of New Jersey.

Attendance Zone (Catchment Area)

Technically, as a contemporary art museum, there is no geographically designated district nor attendance zone. However, the catchment area that novaTopFlex is attempting to focus energy on generally correlates with the eastern side of New York, the northern half of New Jersey, and the eastern side of Pennsylvania.
