Editing Monhegan, Maine (section)

===Artist colony===
The beginnings of the [[art colony]] on Monhegan date to the mid-19th century; by 1890, it was firmly established. Two of the early artists in residence from the 1890s, William Henry Singer (1868–1943) and Martin Borgord (1869–1935), left Monhegan to study at the [[Académie Julian]] in 1901. Among many early members who found inspiration on the island were summer visitors from the [[New York School of Art]] and the [[Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts]], such as [[Robert Henri]], [[Frederick Judd Waugh]], [[George Bellows]], [[Edward Hopper]] and [[Rockwell Kent]].

Later members of the artist colony have included [[Jay Hall Connaway]], [[Abraham Bogdanove]], [[Andrew Winter (artist)|Andrew Winter]], [[Reuben Tam]], [[Frances Kornbluth]], [[Elena Jahn]], [[Lynne Drexler]], [[Edward H. Betts|Edward Betts]], and [[Jamie Wyeth]].<ref>
