Calling all teens! Are you into music, painting, pottery, poetry, theater, storytelling, or any other form of artistic expression? Would you like to produce an arts festival featuring the creative work of Maine teens?
There’s a new space called the Youth Arts Council for teens in Downeast and Midcoast Maine to explore arts and culture with other students from across the region. Support for this initiative is coming from Field Note Music in Ellsworth, Torchlight Media in Belfast, Cultural Alliance of Maine, and WERU Community Radio, with funding support from the Maine Arts Commission.
There will be a Kick-off Party on Thursday, October 29, at Field Note Music, 6 State Street in Ellsworth. The gathering will begin at 3 pm with an open mic, free headshots, free pizza, followed by a youth arts meeting and brainstorming session from 4 to 6.
