    The Boothbay Region Community Center has just recently opened its doors, and its Artist of the Month for September is Helen Farnham.

    Farnham has been painting since she was a child, following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother.

    “I first learned about the Community Center by reading about it in the Register, and knew I wanted to be a part of it,” Farnham said.

    Farnham, as Artist of the Month, has donated a framed painting of hers to be raffled off. Tickets can be purchased in the lobby of the Community Center for $1 each Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

    Farnham will be teaching art classes at the center as well. Her first class is in needle-felting, and will meet Nov. 5 and 12 from 10 a.m. to noon. The class is free, and a sign-up sheet with materials list can be found at the center.

    Anyone interested in being an artist of the month is asked to call 207-633-5254.
