We're considering making the trip, in the spirit of making one's own fun and all like that. It may even, possibly, be informative.
Where: Maine Center for the Arts -- this is on campus, yes?
Who: Heck if I know. The snail-mail postcard and the website info are notable for the lack of proper names involved. Sarah Nics, the hapless young woman in charge of this thing, assures me rather desperately that the Maine Arts Commission loves writers, too, and we should all come out. I note, without comment, that, two weeks ago, when I went to the Maine Arts Commission webpage (www.mainearts.com) to register for their directory/newsletter, there was no option in the drop-down menu answering the question What Kind of Artist Are You?, for writer. Nor 'author', nor yet even 'poet.' It's my guess that MEarts got some grant money to do "workshops" and now they have to spend it.
What: 12-12:50 Session 1: Public Art in Maine Session 2: Agency Support for Arts Organizations
1-1:50 Session 1: Public Relations and Marketing for Artists and Cultural Businesses Session 2: Community Arts Development and Traditional Arts
