Schoodic Point Stone Symposium 2007
July to September, 2007
Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium is a new biennial cultural event that will bring together artists, visitors, and communities for a common goal—sculpture for the public. This gathering of sculptors is a fun and educational way to see how large sculpture is made from one of Maine’s natural resources—granite. The Symposium will run 6-weeks with programs open to the public throughout the event. Up to eight artists from Maine, the United States, and four other countries will be featured. Their sculptures will go to communities in Hancock and Washington counties in Down East Maine.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jesse Salisbury and the other artists at the symposium this past summer and took several photographs of the event and classes that were going on at the time, please click on the following link to see them:
I also had the privilege of displaying several of my posters regarding the history of the stonecutters and quarry workers.
