PRESQUE ISLE, Maine<\/strong>\u2014Wintergreen Arts Center recently received a $4,500 grant for summer arts camperships from the Daniel Cardillo Charitable Fund of the Maine Community Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis gift allows us to honor scholarships across our entire summer arts program,\u201d said Dottie Hutchins, Wintergreen\u2019s executive director.  \u201cA total of 20 different camps at three locations this year.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 27, Wintergreen kicked off its 2022 Summer Arts Program with Nature & Art Camp, one of four camps based out of the Sargent Family Community Center in partnership with the Presque Isle Recreation and Parks Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 5, visual, digital, and other arts camps commence at Wintergreen\u2019s home base in the Aroostook Centre Mall. While Art with HeART<\/em>, a unique, relationship-building summer arts program in partnership with the Presque Isle Housing Authority, is held at 39 Davis Street in the Birch Street neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArt with HeART is free to all area youth and scholarships for the other 19 camps are available to those who may not otherwise be able to attend,\u201d said Hutchins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks in part to this gift, we\u2019re able to remove cost as a barrier for our students,\u201d Hutchins added.  \u201cThe Maine Community Foundation does great work in bringing non-profit organizations and donors with shared passions together; and when I read about Daniel Cardillo, the namesake and inspiration for the fund, I know our students are a perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
