\"Krista<\/a>Presque Isle, Maine<\/strong>\u2014The Directors of the Maine Community Foundation recently awarded another $1,000.00 advised grant to the Wintergreen Arts Center.\u00a0 This grant is made from a component fund of the Maine Community Foundation.<\/p>\n

Advised grants are made from funds established by individuals who make recommendations from time to time as to how the income and or principal are spent.\u00a0 The donor who recommended this grant to Wintergreen gave anonymously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful to receive this grant from a component fund of the Maine Community Foundation,\u201d said Dottie Hutchins, Wintergreen\u2019s executive director.\u00a0 \u201cThis is the second $1,000.00 advised grant we\u2019ve received in less than a year, and we truly are touched by the individual or individuals who gave anonymously and generously without seeking recognition or asking anything in return.\u00a0 It represents a special vote of confidence in our programming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $1,000.00 grant will continue to help support Wintergreen\u2019s Art with HeART program; a summer arts programming initiative to serve youth in public-housing neighborhoods.\u00a0 Art with HeART pairs volunteer teenage mentors with children for relationship-enriching experiences through art.<\/p>\n

Art with HeART was developed by Shaye McHatten, a college sophomore and Wintergreen summer arts instructor.\u00a0 The program returns this coming summer and will once again play a major role in moving Wintergreen towards the Center\u2019s goal to take art directly to those who may not otherwise be able to get to its 149 State Street location.<\/p>\n
