Her Flag 2020: Maine Performance & Celebration

Here’s a unique way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote. Her Flag is a giant collaborative art flag that grows in size as it makes its way across the country. Visual artist Marilyn Artus is the Her Flag founder, and she’ll sew Maine’s stripe, created by Maine artist Amie Kennedy, on the flag during a live event that pays tribute to all those who worked to get the amendment passed while also serving as a motivator to encourage women to exercise their hard-fought voting rights. The event includes a performance by local singer-songwriter Jenny Lou Drew.
