Hutchinson Center exhibits artwork by Broadreach preschoolers
The University of Maine Hutchinson Center will host “Celebrating Sprouts,” a unique display of the natural world as viewed through the eyes of children, June 30–July 21.
More than 24 framed artworks highlight the creativity of preschoolers ages 2 to 5. The pieces were completed during the recent school year at Broadreach Family & Community Services, which offers an early education pre-K program and a new nature-based outdoor preschool known as “Sprouts.”
A free public reception will be held 5–7 p.m. Tuesday, July 11 at the Hutchinson Center in Belfast. The event will include opening remarks about the value of nature-based learning by UMaine faculty member Susan Armistead, parent testimonials and a silent auction featuring selected art pieces by the children. All proceeds will benefit the early education programs of Broadreach Family & Community Services, a nonprofit organization.
