Community connection

By Danielle Devine

Early this fall, Maine Home + Design joined local organizations in sponsoring Maine Preservation’s annual gala at the newly restored Lemont Hall in Brunswick. Proceeds from the auction help Maine Preservation promote and preserve historic places, buildings, and neighbourhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities.

For a third year in a row, we put out a call to Maine designers to come meet us for a drink at Novare Res Bier Cafe in downtown Portland to create a napkin sketch. All participants were given a drink, a pen (however, as you might have guessed, many brought their own), a cocktail napkin, and five prompts. See the results of their work in an upcoming issue.
