Final Chance to See the Student Art Showcase Today

Brewer, ME · May 31, 2026

The mist is clinging to the river this morning, but it should burn off just in time for the final day of the student art showcase. It is a quiet Sunday to catch up on what the local kids have been creating.

📰 The Lead

The Brewer High School Performing Arts Center opens its doors at 1:00 PM today for the final public viewing of the Annual Student Art Exhibition. This year’s collection features over 200 individual pieces, ranging from traditional charcoal portraits to experimental digital media and large-scale sculptures. For the graduating seniors, this serves as a final portfolio presentation before their work is packed up for graduation celebrations next week.

The exhibition has drawn steady crowds since Thursday, highlighting the depth of the local fine arts program. Faculty members will be on hand this afternoon to discuss the curriculum and the various techniques students mastered throughout the semester. If you haven't had a chance to see the talent coming out of our local classrooms, this three-hour window is your last opportunity before the gallery is cleared.
