The Northeast Harbor Library is joining other island libraries in celebrating Women’s History Month with a community exhibit in March.
March 2025 “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations”
Mount Desert Island libraries invite all individuals and groups of all ages of the Mount Desert Island community to exhibit in March 2025. We welcome pieces inspired by the National Women’s History Alliance 2025 theme “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating and inspiring Generations.”
The Women’s History 2025 theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. From classrooms to boardrooms, and from grassroots movements to global initiatives, women educators and leaders have played a pivotal role in nurturing minds and inspiring transformative action. The 2025 theme spotlights the contributions women have made to the American educational system, the free marketplace of ideas, and the fabric of our democracy.
We encourage participants to use any media to create a work for the exhibit that exemplifies the theme. No need to be an “artist” to participate. We also encourage group projects such as quilts, shared stitchery pieces, or any collaborative process. Pieces may be for sale if you wish. Exhibitors are encouraged to show at multiple libraries.
