The 8th Annual Youth Art Month Exhibition is currently on view at Eastport Arts Center’s Washington Street Gallery. Works have been submitted by area art teachers from Calais Jr./Sr. High School, Elm Street School (East Machias), Eastport Elementary, Machias Jr./Sr. High School, Pembroke Elementary, Rose M. Gaffney Elementary (Machias), Shead High School (Eastport), Sipayik Elementary, Washington Academy, Whiting Village School and Woodland Jr./Sr. High School, as well as by home schooled students.
The show will run through May 16, and is viewable during EAC events or by chance, or during special open hours 1-3 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A companion video of the show will be produced to allow additional access for all interested. Exhibition organizers are thrilled to offer a show open to the public, after digital-only exhibitions in 2020 and 2021, and are excited about the quality and variety of submitted works.
Eastport Arts Center is at 36 Washington Street, Eastport and eastportartscenter.org, and is handicapped-accessible. EAC abides by State of Maine CDC COVID guidelines. Additionally, at this time, patrons are required to wear masks when in the EAC building.
The work of Eastport Arts Center is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
