Today I sat down with Claire, who is one of the teens participating in our Portland Public Library/Maine College of Art Teen Art Project to talk about the project now that her work is completed.

Later today, the Portland Public Teen Library will be exhibiting their new art collection – 4 pieces of art created through an Art Internship program organized in collaboration with the Maine College of Art (MECA).

The work of the four teens who participated in the program will be exhibited on the wall across from the Book Store (on the lower level of the Library) during First Friday Art Walk and then move to its permanent home in the Teen Center where patrons can check the art out!
