Maine College of Art
The president of the Maine College of Art (MECA) , Donald Tuski, visited Belfast Area High School (BAHS) on Oct. 26th. He was there, along with admissions representative Shannon Cote, to speak to Mr. Hamm’s Art Portfolio class and to tour the Fine Arts facility. Tuski says: “I just love what you have going on, here in Belfast“. BAHS students have traditionally received generous support from the Portland College due to their strong drawing portfolios and diverse experiences in the arts.
