Kittery Adult Education Art Auction A Success
By Julie Patten
Over $3200.00 was raised at a silent auction held in May at the Kittery Community Center
Morgan Art Gallery for the Louise Whelton Art Scholarship Fund designed to benefit Traip
Academy students pursuing a career in the arts. Watercolors by Louise Whelton were
available for preview and bidding, culminating in the final bidding on May 7th. An art walk
followed from KCC to Traip Academy where a reception was held and the winning bids
were announced.
Lorraine Robida, director of Kittery Adult Education announced the auction high-bidders and thanked those who facilitated the
event. Specifically she mentioned Janice Gray, Todd Henley and Jeremy Paul of the Kittery Community Center for their generosity
and
cooperation in hosting the artwork and taking the bids and Anne Kazazis for her assistance in hanging the artwork. She thanked
her staff , “The Dream Team,” for their time and dedication to making the event a success: Suzan Darcy, resident digital artist;
Cindy Furbish, detail guru; and Jeremy Jane, “the heart of Kittery adult education.”
Louise Whelton, a long-time Eliot resident, had a passion for art, but attributed being able to fine tune that skill to her approximately
eight years of art lessons at Marshwood and Kittery Adult Education. In appreciation for what these adult education programs and
what her instructors did for her, Louise entrusted over 100 pieces of her artwork to the program at Traip before her death last
spring.
Louise, as demonstrated by her generous contribution to the scholarship fund, recognized that adult education allows everyone the
opportunity to be inspired to reach their greatest aspirations. She was inspired to reach her aspirations and with the creation of this
scholarship, she will inspire others to reach theirs.
The mission of the Kittery School Department is “Educating For Life”.
