Organization Overview
MISSION: Arts experiences for all.
Waterville Creates was founded in 2014 by a core group of arts organizations dedicated to strengthening and expanding the arts through thoughtful collaboration. After years of planning and analysis, Waterville Creates officially merged with Common Street Arts (rebranded as Ticonic Gallery + Studios) in 2016 and with the Waterville Opera House and Maine Film Center in November 2018. Under this consolidated structure, Waterville Creates’ programmatic offerings include community theatre productions, live music concerts, dance performances, and broadcasts at the Waterville Opera House, daily film screenings at the Maine Film Center, the annual, 10-day Maine International Film Festival, regular art exhibitions and arts education opportunities at Ticonic Gallery + Studios, and numerous free, collaborative community arts events and programs.
