Wintergreen Arts Center works diligently to offer quality arts enrichment for Presque Isle and the surrounding area. The generous donation by Machias Savings Bank will go toward the Wintergreen After School Arts program.

The program offers art classes to students, K-8 during the course of the school year.  Each of the five 6-week theme-based sessions allows students to become immersed in the arts. Students are introduced to artists, art history, and art theory, learning new techniques and mediums while developing creative problem solving skills and building self-confidence.

“Machias Savings Bank is so happy to be able to make this donation to Wintergreen Arts Center,” said Michael Kelley, Machias Savings Bank Presque Isle Branch Manager.  “The After School Arts program fills a particular need in our community that, in the past, had been missing. It is our pleasure to be able to support such a great program.”

“We are incredibly grateful for the Machias Savingsdonation. Their contribution helps provide the financial and moral support Wintergreen needs to continue our mission,” said Rowena Forbes, Wintergreen Arts Center Executive Director. “We are continually inspired and bolstered by the dedication and generosity of the community around us.”
