The Maine Excellence in Arts Education showcase is a statewide event that highlights student artwork.
Jay Ackley Grade 12 and Kayla Chen Grade 9 have had their artwork selected by a panel of professional artists to be displayed at this prestigious location.
The exhibit is a collaboration between the Maine Arts Commission (a state agency supporting the arts), MECA&D (Maine College of Art & Design), the Scholastic Art & Literary Awards, and Maine's two congressional offices. These organizations provided access to submissions from various art competitions to select the showcased pieces.
The exhibit will run from March 12 to May 30, 2025, and will feature artwork from students across the state.
It’s a wonderful honor for Jay Ackley and Kayla Chen to have their work selected for this exhibition at the Capitol!
If Ms. Cav wins, the school will get a visit from Bill Nye The Science Guy!

The ideal candidate will be ready to engage with parents and children and a friendly and positive way, have an interest in childhood literacy development and/or children’s literature, and access to their own vehicle to travel to program locations.
