Upcountry Artists’ Youth Art Exhibition in downtown Farmington features a two-month-long display made up of 60 pieces of artwork made by Regional School Unit 9 students in grades K-8.

In a deal with Gov. LePage, trustees agree to a sixth year of the same in-state figure, a rarity at a time of rising college costs nationwide.

The monthlong show displays more than 60 pieces by area schoolchildren.

The Cinderella Project of Maine will be giving away prom dresses April 16 at Gardiner Area High School.

Skowhegan Area Middle School teacher Jason Bellerose will replace Gary Oswald, who is retiring at the end of the school year.

The show, called ‘Higher Forms of Art,’ runs through April 2 at the University of Maine at Augusta’s Handley Hall.
