MD Islander speaks with student for report on Women’s History Month art exhibit
Mount Desert Islander spoke with Janet Elvidge, an art student at the University of Maine, for a report on a Women’s History Month art exhibition at Southwest Harbor Public Library. This year’s theme is “Our History is Our Strength,” and it also marks the 100-year anniversary of women’s right to vote. “It’s just a great celebration of women,” said Elvidge, who submitted artwork for the exhibition. “I know I voted as soon as I could … It’s really important to me. I don’t take it for granted that everyone can vote.”
