“Music has always been a big part of my life. Playing trumpet in the Houlton High School Band provided opportunities to develop my confidence and self-esteem, and also establish lifelong friendships. From participating in exchange concerts to being chosen for the All Aroostook Band, Dave McGillicuddy always challenged me to do my best and supported me every step of the way.”
Paul Hoyt, Class of 1972

Why Do We Need A Community Arts Center?

February 23rd, 2007 by fgrant

HCAC as an educational arts center
The entire community will benefit from greater space for youth and adult programming and significantly more opportunities for music, art, dance, theatre, lectures and seminars. HCAC will meet the cultural needs of a growing community and eliminate crowded educational space for high school and middle school students. Southern Aroostook residents will benefit from a modern, spacious facility that brings together choral and instrumental music, visual arts, dance, sculpture, and other arts.

HCAC as an economic development tool
The rapidly expanding creative sector is a significant factor in Maine’s economic development. From music to art, communities are enhanced through the establishment of greater creative arts opportunities. The Houlton Community Arts Center will be an economic stimulus in northern Maine, improving the quality of life for residents of Aroostook County. The center will assist in attracting a more mobile and educated workforce, promoting cultural tourism, and encouraging entrepreneurial activity.

HCAC as a proving ground for young student talent
This new innovative space will provide an arts wing that includes band and chorus space, a dance theatre, rehearsal space and a creative arts room. Students will have enhanced opportunities to develop and hone their creative arts abilities in a supportive and nurturing environment.
