SUMMARY:Armenian Picnic
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-five paintings created by children in Armenia have traveled to the Maine coast\, where visitors to the sixth annual Armenian Picnic will help choose a People’s Choice Award during a day of food\, music\, dancing\, and community celebration. \nThe artwork\, created by children ages 8 to 14 from the community of Berdavan (pronounced “Bertevan”) and an Artsakh art program\, **will be displayed** throughout the picnic on **Sunday\, July 26\, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.** at Searsport Shores Ocean Campground. Visitors **will vote** by placing beans beside their favorite paintings\, and the winning young artist **will receive** a cash prize and an age-appropriate gift. \nThe paintings\, inspired by favorite foods and family gatherings\, reveal children’s views of everyday life through watercolor and marker. Family tables\, dancing\, vineyards\, Mount Ararat\, and shared meals appear throughout the collection. After the artwork arrived in Maine this spring\, it quickly became a conversation starter among picnic volunteers\, who compared favorites\, pointed out tiny details\, and marveled at the sophistication of the young artists. \n“We wanted to find a way to support children’s art programs that celebrated creativity rather than simply offering charity\,” said Astrig Tanguay\, director of the Makers Guild of Maine. “These paintings started conversations long before the picnic. Now we’re inviting everyone who comes to become part of that conversation.” \nWith support from Bangor Savings Bank\, several of the children’s paintings have also been reproduced as large outdoor banners that will be displayed throughout the event\, creating an open-air gallery alongside the food\, music\, and festivities. \nThe Armenian Picnic has become a summer tradition on the Midcoast\, welcoming people of every background to experience Armenian hospitality. Visitors **will enjoy** wood-fired shish kebab\, lahmejun\, vegetarian specialties\, homemade desserts\, Armenian coffee\, live music by two bands\, traditional dancing\, local artisans\, children’s activities\, and the oceanfront setting of Searsport Shores. \nMeals are prepared entirely by volunteers using local ingredients whenever possible. Organizers encourage advance meal purchases through July 25\, allowing the cooking team to plan carefully\, reduce waste\, and direct more resources toward supporting children’s art programs in Armenia. \n“This picnic isn’t just for Armenians\,” said Tanguay. “It’s for anyone who enjoys gathering around good food\, listening to music\, discovering another culture\, and celebrating what brings people together. Everyone who has helped prepare this event wants visitors to leave feeling welcomed\, appreciated\, and connected. In return\, their participation helps encourage children whose lives have been shaped by war\, displacement\, and loss to keep creating and sharing their art.” \nAdmission is free.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Community: The Power of Gathering Spaces & The Impact of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1950s\, the United States has seen a steady decrease in gathering spaces that effectively foster meaningful\, long-lasting support networks and community belonging. As the country becomes more divided and individualistic\, we see an uptick in isolation and a decline in public health and well-being. In this talk\, explore the three components of community building Queerly ME employs to foster strong support networks and strengthen community belonging for LGBTQIA+ adults in Maine. Dive into what is needed for a gathering place to thrive and lead towards meaningful\, long-lasting community connections. This workshop will have a strong focus on the LGBTQIA+ community in Maine\, and the many sociopolitical obstacles challenging the creation and growth of gathering spaces and how we may overcome those challenges through collective action.

SUMMARY:The Influence of Helen and Scott Nearing: A 50-Year Journey

SUMMARY:DownEast New Music: Thanksong
DESCRIPTION:DownEast New Music presents Thanksong\, an evening of new chamber music for soprano\, string quartet\, double bass\, and piano. Built around Cassandra Miller’s intimate and magnetic Thanksong for soprano and string quartet\, this program looks inwards and examines how even small gestures can have major emotional impact. Whether through the sensuous intimacy of Amy Beth Kirsten’s yes I said yes I will Yes\, or the obscured melodrama of Tomás Gueglio’s Murlmenszenen\, this will be an evening of novel and unforgettable music. \nFor Thanksong\, DownEast New Music’s Co-Artistic directors Clare Monfredo (cello)\, Edward Kass (double bass)\, and Conrad Winslow (piano) are joined by returning violinists Robert Anemone and Lilit Hartunian\, Maine’s own Kal Sugatski (viola)\, and award-winning international opera singer Nina Guo.
