ArtVan - An exhibit of young people's artwork

Lamey Wellehan Gallery - 110 Lisbon Street

Celebrating it's 10 year Anniversary!! ArtVan is a free mobile arts therapy program that brings the arts in a colorful painted van to children, teens, and adults who have the least amount of social services, after school and summer activities available to them. ArtVan provides the arts as a form of expression to safely communicate thoughts, feelings and ideas into tangible works of art.  Our mission is to provide a creative and collaborative environment to encourage Youth who have little or no arts access to fully express their imaginations, relationships and experiences within themselves, among their peers and across our communities.Presently, ArtVan works to sustain its core neighborhood programs in Bath, Brunswick, Lewiston Auburn and Biddeford, Maine.

To learn more about the work we do and how you can be a part of this unique program, please visit our website at www.artvanprogram.org and/or contact Jamie Silvestri at jamie@artvanprogram.org OR 207-650-1608. Thank you!

Live Music: 

Maine Music Society's Chamber Singers: Le Messager Gallery - 223 Lisbon Street

6:00-6:30 and 7:30-8:00 p.m.

It is our great joy to announce that members of the Maine Music Society Chamber Singers will be performing at the Art Walk on Friday, August 29. The 20 voices of the Chamber Singers are members of the Androscoggin Chorale who delight in singing a cappella (without accompaniment). They perform music from madrigals to arrangements of songs by the Beatles. They have been involved in several concerts ranging from programs at the Cumston Hall in Monmouth to the Salute to Veterans at the Colisee last November. The Singers recently performed at the June 27th Art Walk and at the summer series at the Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul in Lewiston on July 30. Because they perform without accompaniment, they can travel easily anywhere in the state.

8:00 p.m.

For Friday, August 29th Artwalk, The Juke Joint Devils will perform at She Doesn't Like Guthries. These guys take you back to a time when small house bands played from the soul, on real instruments, could swing like crazy, and anything could happen on stage. The Juke Joint Devils play a mix of West Coast and Chicago Blues, with a bit of spice from New Orleans and elsewhere. The band features International Blues Challenge finalists Tommy O'Connell on harp and vocals and Sean Bowman standup bass, Johnny Moran on drums, and with Stefan Iris on guitar.

L/A Arts would like to thank the 2014 Artwalk Sponsors for making this year possible!
