CARIBOU — Each year the Maine Arts Commission, in partnership with Maine’s First Lady Ann LePage, asks 30 art teachers from all over the state to select artwork from a student and send it to Augusta to take part in their Maine Youth Excellence in Art exhibition. Students in grades K-12 are eligible.
RSU 39 art teacher Lena Tingley chose this year to send a drawing created by Teague Park fourth-grader Edie Shea. The colorful drawing, described by Shea as “from long ago when there were stables and railroads,” will be displayed for four months in the Capitol Building, the Blaine House or the Maine Arts Commission Office.
Shea, her family and Tingley will be invited to an opening reception at the Blaine House in December where Shea will receive recognition for her artwork.
According to Tingley, this is the second time she has chosen a student from Caribou to participate in the exhibit.
