The exhibition celebrates the grand opening from 5-8 p.m. of the Engine Exhibition Hall at 265 Maine Street, Biddeford.

“Part of Engine’s mission is to create a bridge between UNE and the downtown,” said Tammy Ackerman, executive director of Engine. “We’re interested in bringing students, professors and parents downtown – this will increase the value and popularity of the downtown.”

“The collaboration between Engine and UNE is an ongoing one ... and has created a great opportunity for students to see their work in a professional setting and make a contribution to the culture of the community,” said Burt, who is associate professor and chair of the Department of Creative and Fine Arts. Randall and Rosen, are adjunct faculty in the department.
