Take & Make Kits
​In 2021 Merrymeeting Arts Center and the Bowdoinham Public Library, co-sponsored the "Make & Take" program, with funding provided by the Anonimo Foundation.  Our directions were clear.  While continuing to adapt to life with Covid, we were to provide art to children and income to artists.  Every month of 2021 a different artist designed a project and a kit was assembled, to then be distributed to the community at no charge to any child in the ages of kindergarten through 5th grade.
