Continuum Arts Collective provides instruments and art supplies with its Second Annual Giving Tree
NORTH BERWICK, Maine — Continuum Arts Collective is hosting its Second Annual Giving Tree to provide free musical instruments, art supplies, and creative instruction for at least 100 lucky student artists and musicians in Southern Maine and New Hampshire this holiday season.
Last year, CAC assisted 135 student artists and musicians with free guitars, ukuleles, amps, keyboards, drums, brass, and wind instruments for musicians and art kits for preteen and adolescent student visual artists.
Students can apply for instruments and art supplies by going to https://continuumarts.org/apply. If approved, students and their families can pick up these materials at CAC headquarters in North Berwick, Maine, on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
CAC is accepting donations to support its giving tree at https://continuumarts.org/donate. All donations are tax-deductible. Every donation is acknowledged on social media, and an ornament with the donor’s name is placed on the giving tree.
