Q. What is Julia's Gallery?
A. Julia's Gallery for Young Artists is made up of a group of creative and motivated teens that have been exhibiting the best artwork of teens from across the state of Maine for over 6 years. We are an award winning program that was recognized in 2004 by the Maine College of Arts with a Leadership in Arts Education Award. We are interested in graphic design, business, art, matting and framing, and community service. We are independent and self directed and able to professionally run our gallery.
