New organization in the Orono/Old Town area
Stillwater Community Arts is a new non-profit organization whose mission is to stimulate, advance, and sustain the visual and performing arts in Orono, Old Town and their neighboring communities by facilitating educational and cultural opportunities that enhance access to, awareness of, collaboration in, and appreciation for the visual and performing arts. The greater Orono-Old Town area boasts a state winning high school jazz band, two award winning high school theatre programs, a nationally ranked speech and debate team, three school orchestras, a community theatre and over 30 visual artists, yet there is no easy way to access information about their concerts, exhibitions or productions. Stillwater Community Arts seeks to create a common organization to help build and promote the already present visual and performing artists in the area as well as to foster further educational opportunities and programmatic options from regional and national artists.
On Saturday, June 25, 6-10 p.m. in downtown Orono, Stillwater Community Arts will present Stillwater Artsapalooza, the first annual festival of visual and performing arts that will serve as the organization’s inaugural event. Stillwater Artsapalooza will feature over 50 visual and performing artists performing in 13 different venues in downtown Orono. This is a fantastic way to kick-off your summer and celebrate the wonders of the arts.
