2023 Goals
We continue to experience rapid growth, expansion and extension of quality music education programs in our studios in Yarmouth and through our partnerships in Greater Portland. This growth is fueled by the increasing demand for quality music education opportunities and our commitment to welcome new community members of all ages, musical interests and abilities, and economic circumstances. We are pleased to announce that our expanded facility is set to open early next year. This new footprint will include a 200-person event space as well as a new cafe, teaching studios and a recording studio. This will allow us a greater opportunity to provide expanded programming for our youngest music lovers, our Little Roots, as well as our older learners who enjoy learning new skills in a supportive community and performing in one of our many ensembles.
Fundraising/Event Opportunities
317 Main offers a variety of event programming throughout the year, which includes open mic nights, workshop weeks, a weekly farmer’s market (seasonal), concerts/festivals and much more. With our renovated, expanded facility opening to the public in 2023 – which will include a new cafe/pub and state-of-the-art performance hall (200-person capacity) – we are excited to deliver an even greater variety of programming in the near future. Sponsorship opportunities at various giving levels are available for many of our events and programs, including the grand opening of our new facility next spring.

The 317 Main student experience is made possible in large part by the generosity of individual and organizational donors.
