Since our beginning in the 1930’s, our founding visionary Mainers cultivated a community and family spirit by offering a balance of social events, recreation, and excellence in the performance and teaching of the arts. With our more recent Sexpansion to year round programming, it is clear that developing our unique assets is having a positive impact on the education, the local economy, and the lives of people who live in this region. We are all keenly aware that creating new and diverse job opportunities and growing economic stability will encourage those from Maine to stay or move back and will also encourage many more talented young people to consider Maine as their home. region have worked to shape a vibrant and diverse arts and cultural scene. Not only are the arts a promising economic driver in central Maine, they also play a key role in the development and education of our state’s youth – the true future of Maine. Waterville Creates! is proud of its growing collaborative relationship with Snow Pond Center for the Arts. By working together, we are increasing access to the performing arts for our region’s underserved communities and improving the quality and diversity of arts education for future generations. Beyond good jobs, the creation and stewardship of quality of place is essential. History suggests that all areas with growing and vibrant economies have great schools and an abundance of arts and cultural opportunities. Young people today are looking for communities that are affordable, safe, family friendly, and sustainable. They would love a place with all the natural beauty and advantages of Maine along with all the vibrant professional, educational, and cultural opportunities that are normally found in more urban areas. Long-term economic and community prosperity for our area is dependent upon the ability of young adults to envision a life for themselves and their families here. Snow Pond can play an important role in addressing these needs and has developed a multi-year plan with a primary purpose towards the attraction and retention of a population needed to support long-term economic stability. This is a collective regional initiative and partnerships have been developed with local organizations, area schools and youth organizations, the colleges, the arts organizations, local residents, and the municipalities that share geographic borders with Sidney. One of the primary goals of these partnerships is the overall promotion and branding of our region for its Quality of Place. 6 Snow Pond is very pleased to share that progress has been made on many fronts, most notably on educational objectives through New England Music Camp and other summer programs along with the year-round Community Arts & Music School, which offers affordable arts education and provides outreach programs at other area youth organizations. Many of these programs are innovative and all of them are transformative. Research consistently shows that music and arts education has a major positive impact on cognitive and skill development. There simply needs to be far greater awareness and far greater participation to see first hand this amazing transformation. Our overall goal, however, is more personal. We want to connect with our families and our communities in an interactive and creative way. We want to share our belief in the vital importance of providing every child here in Maine access and exposure to transformative arts education. We are striving to be an engaged learning community, and we want you to be part of this exciting journey. Please stop by Snow Pond to introduce yourself and share your thoughts, or email us at [email protected]. Most importantly, please participate - enroll in a program, attend a performance or special event regularly, join us for a community gathering, and tell a friend or neighbor. We want everyone to experience this magical place we call home with the hope that it starts to feel like your home too.
