GARDINER — Healthy Communities of the Capital Area and the Kennebec County Youth Advisory Board hosted youth open mic nights on July 18 and 30 at Johnson Hall Opera House.

The purpose of the events was to highlight youth artists and provide space to let their creativity thrive in a smoke-free, substance-free environment. Several youth performers attended both events to perform poetry, engage audience members in trivia, sing songs and play instruments.

Staff at Johnson Hall and Maine Arts Academy helped coordinate these events.

Students ages 11-17 interested in joining the Kennebec County Youth Advisory Board should visit hccame.org or email Adlin Deering at a.deering@hccame.org.
