LEWISTON, MAINE - The Maine Arts
Commission is conducting a series of statewide meetings in order to gather
information and feedback that will shape the agency’s services to the
field. The second of these meetings will take place at 6:00 pm on Tuesday,
July 13, at the Public Theatre, Maple Street in Lewiston, and is being
coordinated by L/A Arts.
Maine Arts Commission Director, Donna McNeil
Maine Arts Commission Director Donna
McNeil and Communication Associate Darrell Bulmer are attending numerous
meetings around Maine to engage artists and community members in an open
dialogue about the agency’s offerings.
The tour begun exceptionally well at
the initial meetings in Brunswick and Dover-Foxcroft, where attendees
provided critical feedback that will be combined with advice gathered
throughout Maine’s communities in the coming months.
“We are very pleased to have received
an invitation from artisans in the Lewiston region as this area is
obviously an important part of Maine’s cultural sector. We look forward to
a lively and engaging meeting that will allow us to shape the services and
support to this community and others like it.”
The meetings are open for all
interested parties to attend and will concentrate on two main aspects of
information gathering; namely, gathering feedback on the services and
programs that the Maine Arts Commission currently provides, and gathering
input on what the agency may not currently offer but could do so in the
future.
The gatherings are designed to provide
a two-way conversation where attendees can express their views on the
Maine Arts Commission to ensure that the agency continues to provide the
most relevant services to constituents. The conversations will also afford
those who are not so familiar with the agency’s offerings a chance to
learn more about what is currently available.
Those wishing to attend are asked to

idea of numbers, for refreshment purposes. Please provide your name,
numbers attending and which organization you represent if applicable. All
