Julie Richard, Peter Alexander, and Michael Donahue
“Arts in Education” was the topic of the “MAINE ARTS ALIVE” radio program on WERU on November 27, 2012. The host of the program, Michael Donahue, invited myself and Julie Richard, Director of the Maine Arts Commission and Peter Alexander, Director of the Maine Alliance for Arts Education.
I viewed this as an opportunity to discuss Maine arts education and to provide a chance for the listeners to learn more about what arts educators across the state are doing.
