Maine Arts Commission NewsIntern News
The Maine Arts Commission welcomes two new interns for the winter and spring months. Caroline Budney is a recent graduate of Bowdoin College with a BA in Art History and Studio Art. She is looking forward to living in Maine after coming to Bowdoin from Syracuse, New York. She plans a career in the arts, after spending two weeks as an intern and being contracted by the agency on a part-time basis. Sara Nics studied contemporary dance at Concordia University, as well as Bates Dance Festival. She holds a BA with honors in journalism and political science from the University of King's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia. She will be working with Donna McNeil, contemporary arts/public art associate, to develop programs for performing artists.
Kimberly Brennan, who interned with the Maine Arts Commission last summer, has a background in education and was recently contracted by the agency to research and write a report evaluating the Partners in Arts and Learning program. In addition, she is currently attending the MFA program for visual art, at Vermont College. She perceived her experience as follows: "As a mother/artist my time at the Maine Arts Commission has reenergized my desire to ensure that the arts continue to be an integral part of our community and schools. Art, as a valuable tool of expression, enhances learning on all levels and can be used to bring about social change. My artistic practice uses video, sculpture and household objects that engage the viewer on a psychological and personal level reflecting the social environment we inhabit, particularly the marginalization of individual members/groups of society. It has been a pleasure working with an organization that plays such an integral part in assisting with the freedom of artistic expression and well-being of the arts."
