In the last six years since its beginning in 2004, the Maine Youth Excellence in Art program has given young artists from all of Maine’s 818 public and private K-12 schools an opportunity to have their artwork exhibited in Augusta. To date, more than 500 student works have been shown in the state capital.
There are thirty-nine students participating in the current exhibit representing Readfield Elementary School, Maranacook Middle School, Wiscasset High School, Indian Island School, Riley School, Viola Rand School, East Grand School, Brunswick High School, Waterville High School, Dr. Lewis S. Libby School and Madison Area Memorial High School.
On Tuesday of this week the Maine Arts Commission held a tea at the Blaine Hosue for the current exhibitors. Family members and art teachers proudly watched as the young artists received a certificate and medal while they had their picture taken with the First Lady.
