Hello everyone!
My name is Emily Sanborn. I am the youth program coordinator intern here at Lights Out. I live in Hebron, and I’m a rising sophomore at Colby College studying elementary education. My job revolves around organizing and managing the Little Sparks Art Camp and the Ignite: Teen Art Intensives.
The overall community that Lights Out has offered me has been an incredible experience. Community Days and Wednesday lunches have helped me make connections in the area that I wouldn’t have otherwise made. Getting to know my co-workers and my camp kids has been the highlight of my summer, and I am so thankful for this opportunity. Although my time here has been short, I’ve made some lifelong friends through this internship, and I’ve appreciated every second of it.
“Join Co-Founders Dan and Reed for a roundtable Q&A on what it takes to build and run a statewide arts nonprofit right here in Maine. Hear their story, ask questions, and get an inside look at the vision behind one of Maine’s greatest galleries.”
Norway Maine Arts Festival Co-Directors and Lights Out team members Ben Troutman and Zoey Patarroyo will also be tabling at the Farmers Market for market-goers to learn more about this year’s Festival, what’s in store, and how to volunteer!
Come by this week’s Farmers Market on Friday from 5pm to 8pm to learn more about Lights Out and the Norway Maine Arts Festival and enjoy the food, people, and atmosphere of the Alan Day Community Garden!
After the arts festival, Lady Lamb and Greg Jamie will be joining Lights Out at Penn Landing for our FIRST EVER concert in partnership with SPACE.
Set at a former industrial cannery on the banks of Lake Pennesseewassee in Norway, Maine, Penn Landing sits on six acres of waterfront overlooking Ordway Grove, home to Maine’s largest white pines. The concert will take place in the center of a site-specific art installation built inside the space. More details on the full experience are coming soon, but trust us – you’re going to want to be there!
Wednesday evenings Long Pose, 5-8 pm with Haid Tanous. Same model, same pose for 6 weeks. Admission is $12 per session and will be held upstairs in the Dance Studio.
Wednesdays from 10 am-2 pm, free luncheon at 1 pm. Come volunteer at Lights Out and help us with a variety of fun projects. Georgia makes a delicious meal every week!
Join our Community Art Night every Sunday from 2-5 pm at Lights Out. With materials provided by Lights Out and donated by the community, we make sure you have what you need and are there to encourage your creativity and share in your excitement, whether we are engaging in a group project or you’re working solo. Come create!
