Governor Angus King will address the group and present the two annual arts education advocacy awards to Holly Bertrand, art teacher from Bucksport High School, and Cal Chaplin, principal of Portland Arts and Technology High School.

Art teacher Holly Bertrand said the program was an "excellent opportunity" for the students to participate."I think it's wonderful," Bertrand said.

She said LINC gives students exposure and access to people who have made a career from their own artwork, as well as "dispels the myth of the starving artist."

"It keeps art in the forefront.Art is just as important as English and math," Bertrand said.
