Republican Journal previews children’s art exhibit at Hutchinson Center
The Republican Journal reported the public is invited to view the “Celebrating Sprouts” children’s art exhibit on display through July 21 at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast. 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. July 11. The event will include opening remarks 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, a nonprofit organization.
