A Toast to the Arts
|
I wanted to let you know about a special ten day event that our neighbors up the coast
are planning. It's a ten day toast to the arts... and you're invited.
The event is named the Maine In America Celebration. It's
being planned by a group of community leaders in Rockland.
Cellardoor
Winery is leading the charge. The Maine In America Celebration kicks off on Thursday, June 18, with "Pop The Cork 2". This is Cellardoor Winery's second annual fundraising event for the arts. Tickets are $75 per person. They are available by calling (207) 236-2654 or by emailing tickets@cellardoorvineyard.com. They're all inclusive of much food, drink and live entertainment. 100% of ticket proceeds from this event benefit CMCA (Center for Maine Contemporary Art). My firm is working with Cellardoor. We have had a blast getting to know Bettina and her crew at Cellardoor. They know how to throw a party! Pop the Cork will be a great start. On Saturday, June 27, Cellardoor is helping wrap up the Maine In America Celebration by sponsoring the Gala at the Farnsworth. The honoree that night is Robert Indiana. DDuring the Maine in America Celebration, from start to finish, wines from Cellardoor will be paired with cuisine at local restaurants and poured at galleries, and at both of the major events. For information about Maine In America Celebration, there's a listing here. Below is the preliminary schedule of events. Thursday, June 18
