Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
A LOCAL GLASSBLOWING ARTISAN DONATED THE CONTENTS OF HIS STUDIO TO THE ORGANIZATION AND WORKED WITH US TO CONSTRUCT THE ONLY FULL-TIME, COMMUNITY-BAED, PUBLIC-ACCESS GLASSBLOWING FACILITY OF ITS KIND IN MAINE. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS TO OFFER CURRICULUM IN THE STUDIO AND HAVE BROUGHT A UNIQUE OFFERING THE THE AREA. THE OFFERINGS HAVE HELPED INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN CLASSES GREATLY, DUE TO DECREASES FROM THE PANDEMIC. WITH OUR PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN MODEL, THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE CLASSES ARE NOW ABLE TO.
THE ORGANIZATION STARTED AN ANNUAL ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN THE SUMMER OF 2021. EVERY YEAR AN ARTIST WILL SPEND TIME AT THE ORGANIZATION GIVING PATRONS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE VARIOUS TYPES OF ART MORE IN-DEPTH. THIS YEAR WE HOSTED PIPPIN FRISBIE-CALDER, WHO SPECIALIZES IN PRINTMAKING EXPLORING THE ISSUES OF CLIMATE-CHANGE, SPECIES EXTINCTION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. AS TIME GOES ON, WE HOPE TO ADD MORE RESIDENCIES YEARLY.
OUR LIFE DRAWING CLASSES HAVE GROWN IN 2021. WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE CLASSES OUTSIDE, WHEN THE WEATHER PERMITTED, AND WE EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT CLASSES WERE OFFERED. THESE CLASSES OFFER DRAWING INSTRUCTION TO ANYONE IN LONG AND SHORT POSES.
