Portland, Maine - This Friday, City of Portland, Portland Public Schools and Portland Public Library employees and their families will showcase their artwork on the walls of City Hall as a part of the 7th Annual Exhibit and Awards of the National Arts Program. Members of the public are invited to visit City Hall to view the art on display March 1 - March 15, Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
“The National Arts Program and the city’s exhibit offer employees and their families an opportunity to bring forth their talents - at whatever level - amateur, intermediate, professional, or youth, and share their work with their colleagues and the public,” stated Karen Seymour, Recreation supervisor and organizer of the event. “The exhibit gives the public the opportunity to see another side of the lives of public servants.”
The National Arts Program is designed to give artists at all levels of skill an opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional manner and compete for cash prizes. Sponsored by The National Arts Program Foundation in support and cooperation with the City of Portland, the exhibit is judged by professional artists and visual art professionals. Winners in the amateur, intermediate, professional and youth categories will be announced Friday, March 1st at the artist’s reception at 6:30 PM.
The National Arts Program was established in 1983 to inspire, acknowledge, and reward creative accomplishment throughout the nation. For almost three decades, the National Arts Program has held annual exhibits featuring the art works of employees and their families in more than 450 large and small cities, counties and organizations.
