First Fridays Open Stage
TONIGHT!
Friday, March 3rd, 7:00 to 8:30 PM
$5 suggested donation
Tonight we welcome host
Sebastian Benedetto, a 13-year-old homeschooler from Cape Neddick, who will demonstrate his skills at the
mandolin, bagpipes and fiddle. It's sure to be a foot-stompin' good time with Sebastian at the helm!
Join us here in our old renovated fire station where you'll be surrounded by paintings, sculpture and other works of art as you sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of young performers ham it up on our stage. The performance is held upstairs in a room with a vaulted ceiling and great acoustics.
Students are encouraged to come and sing, play guitar, piano or any instrument of their choice, perform a skit, juggle, do standup comedy, mime...anything goes on our stage!
We provide a sound system, electric piano, guitar and bass amps, snacks and beverages. No need to sign up in advance or call.
This fantastic event takes place at Kittery Art Association on the
first Friday of every month and will run through May 2017.

Local Call to Artists
Beach Pea Baking Co. Exhibit
We want to thank Todd Bonita for helping select artwork submitted by members of the KAA which is on exhibit at the Beach Pea Baking Co. now thru May 1.
The artists whose work will not be exhibited this time around, will be in the next round, since we had so many wonderful pieces (some of which were quite large) for the walls at the Beach Pea. Thank you to all who participated thus far!
Are you also interested in having your artwork displayed at this totally cool and hip little establishment right here in Kittery?
If so, more opportunities lie just ahead, but it's filling up fast, so make plans now to get on board by contacting either Betsy Wish at bjwish@gmail.com or Julia O'Connell at twojulia@hotmail.com.

This is our first time exhibiting at the Beach Pea, so we may be making some changes as we move forward; be sure to stay tuned!
Beach Pea is located at 53 State Road, Kittery, Maine
