Letter: Fiddlehead center finds another home (July 18, 2008)
Editor:
[The following is a letter to friends, families and colleagues of Fiddlehead Center for the Arts].
After many months of searching we have at last found a new home to create the expansion we need to grow our programs. We will be re-locating to 152 Route One in Scarborough (just behind Lois’ Natural Food Market) in August.
We are very excited to have a space to call our own and we are equally excited about the fall line up of classes for the after-school, adult and pre-schooler programs. Be sure to check out the Web site in the next week or two for all the fall details! Included in that will be information on the “Fiddlehead Unlimited” program that will allow your child to be engaged in the arts, sciences and technology five days a week from September to May at a great discount. Transportation will be included through the Scarborough School District. Call the office for more details on this after care program!
And mark your calendar for Thursday, Aug. 14 at 6:30 p.m. for registration night. Come check out programs that include Crazy Clay in our new ceramic studio, Lego robotics, animation, photography, physical sciences, nature art, printmaking sampler, junkyard art, bookmaking and creative writing, handmade tile, multimedia, cartooning, sculpture, drawing and painting, Mom and Me art class, storybook theater, Spanish, yoga and private music lessons in piano, guitar, violin, cello, voice and saxophone for all ages and ability levels.
Before we begin to purchase items for the expansion on our “Needs List” we thought we would send that “Needs List” along to you to help minimize our expenses and to determine if there are items sitting in someone’s attic or garage or perhaps the business or company you work for could use a donation as a tax deduction? Also, if you would like to support Fiddehead’s efforts by purchasing an item for the ceramic studio or one of the music rooms perhaps, we would recognize that support by placing your name on the sponsor wall at the entrance to the new facility.
Thank you for two and a half years of support and making Fiddlehead a community art center that Scarborough can call its own!
Let us know what you have on our list!
Fiddlehead Center for the Arts Needs List: bookshelves, metal utility shelves, storage cabinets, wood cubbie, drying rack, wood toys and blocks, cardboard blocks, clear plastic storage bins (various sizes), plastic utility sink, stainless steel sink, utility wash bucket (on wheels), vacuum, 6 by 8 tables, folding metal chairs, upholstered lobby chairs, wood peg racks, microwave oven, upright piano, kiln, pottery wheel, slab table; computers (lap tops preferable), scanner, digital projector, digital camera, imaging software and a copier.
