The Winter Solstice Luminary Project will expand and amplify the Art Kits for All program across Waterville, literally lighting up the city by providing luminary kits to approximately 1,600 students enrolled in the Waterville Public Schools. Waterville Creates, in collaboration with community partners, including the Colby College Museum of Art, Kennebec Montessori School, Waterville School District, Family Violence Project, Waterville Parent Teacher Association, Northern Stars Planetarium, and the Children’s Discovery Museum will distribute kits to area schools on Thursday, Dec. 17. The free kits will include materials for two luminaries per kit along with battery-operated candles. Students and their families are encouraged to place the crafted luminaries at their homes and businesses throughout the city on Dec. 21 between 4 and 6:30 p.m. to collectively celebrate the winter solstice, according to a news release from Waterville Creates!
