Friends of Aomori President, Lynda McCann-Olson, recently published an article in the Maine Arts Journal Spring 2026 issue, titled “Student Interest Leads to Passion”. Lynda explores her journey to becoming involved with Friends of Aomori through the Hashi program several years ago. Whether you are an art educator or an art enthusiast, we hope that by reading about Lynda’s experience with Hashi and becoming a Friends of Aomori board member will energize you to engage with our organization!
