Of all our economic development strategies, education is the one with the greatest return on investment. Investment in the education of Maine people creates lifelong learners, opens pathways to promising careers, and produces civically engaged citizens.

ARTS is a core and integrated component across the entire curriculum. |
CHOICE and customization of learning OPPORTUNITIES are essential.
|
SCHOOL and students are key contributing members of the COMMUNITY. |
CREATE a nurturing learning culture that is not limited to the school campus. As both an arts education and community center, it is important that this environment extends BEYOND the schools and the campus. |
The Maine State Museum was thrilled with the Snow Pond Center for the Arts’ generous and stimulating collaboration in hosting our annual event for the Friends of the Maine State Museum this year. The beautiful setting, enriched by skilled musical and dance performances, enchanted our members with an outstanding visual and cultural feast. - - Bernard Fishman, Director, Maine State Museum
