ArtWaves and Healthy Acadia are partnering with the community to make Art for Health & Hope, a community art installation. As part of Healthy Acadia's 25-year celebrations, they are inviting the community to take part in Art for Health & Hope, a collaborative project that will become a large-scale installation celebrating health, connection, resilience, and hope, and representing community members of all ages and backgrounds, from all corners of Hancock and Washington counties. 

ArtWave, located at 1345 ME-102 in Bar Harbor, will host two free art-making sessions as part of this project:

• "The Art of Felting for Health & Hope" on Wednesday, June 10, from 5:30-7 p.m.,

• and "Mosaic Art for Health & Hope" on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 5:30-7 p.m.

  Artist Liz Cutler will lead both sessions. She will share her vast expertise and joy in making art to help participants create 5"x7" art pieces for Art for Health & Hope. Together, the organizations are excited to partner to make art and build community.
