WERU Launches Maine Arts Alive Radio Series

Two staff members of the Maine Arts Commission were joined by an artist and community organizer this week to help launch a new radio segment on WERU radio called “Maine Arts Alive.”

Agency Acting Director Darrell Bulmer, and Donna McNeil, Programs and Policy Director were joined by Kimberly Callas from the Belfast Creative Coalition to discuss some of key topics in the arts as they relate to creativity, funding and the economy.

The hour-long segment raised some interesting talking points and helped to explain some of the policies and procedures of the Maine Arts Commission, while highlighting some of the key successes of its grant programs.

Hosted by Michael Donahue the show is set to continue with guests appearing each week to discuss the arts in Maine. You can listen to the audio below.
