Waterville Creates invites you to help shape the future of arts and cultural programming in our community. Share your ideas and feedback about new and existing programs. We estimate the survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete, and your responses will be completely anonymous. All participants will be entered into a drawing to win special prizes, including a full festival pass to the 25th annual Maine International Film Festival (July 8-17) and two tickets to see The Bacon Brothers live in concert at the Waterville Opera House on July 31.

The Farm Tools Project is a visual exploration of the use of hand tools on small farms in Maine and the exchanges that take place between farmers and the land. Artist Michel Droge and archaeologist Sarah Loftus traveled around the state with a portable cyanotype kit (an old form of non-toxic photography relying on sunlight and water). 100% of art sales proceeds will be donated to the Maine Farmland Trust and Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association’s joint PFAS Emergency Relief Fund to support farmers impacted by potential PFAS contamination.
