PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Wintergreen Arts Center will host a Summer Arts Student Showcase during the month of August. With offerings from Art with HeART, to Unicorn Camp, Superheroes Camp, Photography Camp, Video Production Camp and much more, over 325 children participated in 19 unique summer arts camps at three different locations this year.
“Our students are creating a whirlwind of fun and inspiration this summer,” said Shaye McHatten, Wintergreen’s head summer arts teacher. “We added more camps, teachers, and concepts to help each student express their individuality through the arts. I think people will be truly impressed with their work.”
Wintergreen works in partnership with the Presque Isle Recreation & Parks Department and the Presque Isle Housing Authority to provide affordable, high quality summer arts programming available to all local youth. Art with HeART is held in the Birch Street Neighborhood and Summer Art at the Rec is held at the Sargent Family Community Center. Digital and visual arts camps are held throughout the day at Wintergreen’s new space at the Aroostook Centre Mall.
Wintergreen’s programming is also funded in part by grants from the Maine Community Foundation, Onion Foundation, and the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Summer Arts Student Showcase is free and open to the public.
