In May, Central Aroostook Association coordinated an event to showcase the talents of individuals who attend programs at their facility or are supported by the Association in their respective communities.
Wintergreen Arts Center hosted a poetry night where Poetry Busters prepared and presented their works of art, photography and poetry. Joining the evening of arts event were Brian Mosher and Doug Cronkite, members of the band Common Crossing who played a variety of music.
The event, which is being considered as an annual event, was an opportunity for experiential learning and research to gain knowledge of the arts. Considering the popularity and enthusiasm from attendees, the event will likely be promoted in the community for future events. Sally Burnell, co-coordinator of the event commented “feedback has been positive and ongoing since we held the event. The committee did a tremendous job with planning and soliciting interest. So much so, inquiries from the public have been very supportive and offered their participation. We’re hoping that this event can be coupled with other downtown events that occur at various time throughout the year.”
