(SCAI), est. 2014 in Milbridge, ME, brings quality music & arts education, concerts & community experiences to the DownEast-Acadia region, and online to the wider world! SCAI, founded in 2014, is a Maine public benefit C-corporation.
2021 update: Operating online since the 2020 pandemic began, SCAI launched a new initiative, "Sing into Joy: Singing as Your Path to Wellness" (see its FB page an
d https://singintojoy.org) and continues to provide:
- high-quality vocal and other music lessons;
- online groups and learning experiences for people of all ages, with a special emphasis on helping the young develop their talents;
- Creative Retreats for working artists of all kinds to concentrate on their new work, at our scenic facility on a tranquil tidal cove. SCAI intends to resume its traditional live community events when "the coast is clear," including:
- engaging with the community to create a variety of local and regional music and arts events;
- "importing" other noted artists and teachers for enrichment;
- hosting residencies (a week to a month) for visiting writers, composers, songwriters, photographers and other visual artists, who will develop and share their work with the community. We're fortunate to have a beautiful facility where many of these events take place, located on several peaceful acres of woods and waterfront, just 3 minutes from the center of Milbridge, a hub town halfway between the cities of Ellsworth and Machias. We also bring larger-scale concerts and theater events to outside venues: community centers, churches and schools in Milbridge, Cherryfield, Harrington, Columbia, and other nearby towns.
