Free Workshop. “Family Stories: How and Why to Remember and Tell Them”
2026-04-17 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | The Landing, UMF Olsen Student Center
Telling personal and family stories is fun – and it connects strangers, strengthens links between generations, and gives children the self-knowledge to carry them through hard times. Knowledge of family history has even been linked to better teen behavior and mental health. In this interactive workshop, storyteller Jo Radner shares foolproof ways to mine memories and interview relatives for meaningful stories. Participants will practice finding, developing, and telling their own tales. Friday 17 April 2026. 1:00-3:00 pm. Limit: 26 participants. The Landing, Olsen Student Center, University of Maine at Farmington. FMI: joradner.com/oral-history Sponsored by Western Maine Storytelling and ArtsFarmington. Participants must register. Please contact Peggy Yocom at myocom@gmu.edu Include your email address and phone number, please.

ArtsFarmington presents “Ain’t I a Woman!”
2026-03-11 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
On Tuesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. in the UMF Emery Community Arts Center, ArtsFarmington is pleased to present: Ain’t I a Woman! A celebration of the life and times of four powerful African American women: renowned novelist and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, ex-slave and fiery abolitionist Sojourner Truth, exuberant folk artist Clementine Hunter, and fervent civil rights worker Fannie Lou Hamer.
The musical score is drawn from the heartfelt spirituals and blues of the Deep South, the urban vitality of the Jazz Age, and contemporary concert music by African Americans. Ain’t I a Woman! is a joyful exploration of the trials and triumphs of four passionate and accomplished women.
The Core Ensemble is represented by Mikael Darmanie on piano and the African American Women are played by Tiffany Terrell. Ms. Terrell was the actress who portrayed three other notable African American women in “Unbought” with the Core Ensemble here last year. This year’s program takes its title from an expression by Sojourner Truth.
The suggested adult ticket price is $20, more if you can, less if you can’t; all welcome, no one turned away. UMF students are FREE. All youth 18 and under are also FREE though our Arts Inspire Youth program. Tickets at the door or at artsfarmington.org.
