RSU13 Adult and Community Education
Maine Adult Education Program
June 2019 —
Arts in Action partnered with The Center for Maine Contemporary Art to complete a mural with the NOVA program this spring. ArtLab's Lead Educator and local mural artist, Alexis Iammarino, collaborated with the students during and after-school on the project. The mural can be viewed in the halls of the former South School on Broadway.
Arts in Action students have been working with the Rockland Transfer Station since 2017 to design the concept, colors, and to create the original artwork for the new mural that was installed this spring. The project is in collaboration with the Public Service Department Director, Dave St. Laurent; and Katrina Venhuizen, Environment Educator at EcoMaine.
Young Artist, Laura Boutin, enrolled in the Arts@Work Studio and Mentorship Program,created this beautiful piece by incorporating lots of texture using a series of palette knives and her hands to manipulate the paint gesturally and expressively to resemble crashing waves.
Registrations for after-school programs will be open in early September fall sessions

Arts in Action partnered with other community groups to host the
Summer Solstice CELEBRATE OUR YOUTH activities. Shown here are some of the painters of a donated upright piano that was delivered to Main St. for the Solstice event through an organized effort by Alexis Iammarino, Dave St. Laurent from Rockland Public Works, and local artist and musician, Nate Davis. The piano is currently installed in the small gazebo at the park above the Buoy Park near to the Rockland Police Station to be enjoyed by the public.
