This exhibition features an extensive range of media, ranging from digital art, to painting, to ceramic and glass sculpture. This diversity of media reflects each artist’s unique journey and perspective, emphasizing how no two paths are the same. UpRouted reveals how the experiences that we live through become embedded in the creative work we produce. In addition to creating artwork, students participated in the preparation, curation, and installation of the show, as well as the promotion, fundraising, and event planning.

Camacho (Metepec, MX), Kaity Sawicki (Damariscotta, ME), Anthony Belenger (Bangor, ME), Haley Metzger (Bangor, ME), Piper Galipeau (Presque Isle, ME), Vi Nelson (Howland, ME), Ruby Day (Belfast, ME), Sarina Martin (Bucksport, ME), Allison Bishop (Gorham, ME), Josh Smith (Bradford, ME), Leanor Jordon (Parsonfield, ME), and Lior Nachtigal (Brookline, MA).
