Aug 13 Schoodic Point

Pat B. lead 29 DOC members on a great hike on the grounds of the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC), located on Schoodic Point. Part of the hike passed by the Schoodic Sculpture Symposium (see below) to observe the sculptors at work.
After a casual hike we had lunch at a very foggy Schoodic Point.

2009 Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium . . .

August 1 through September 12, 2009
Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium is a biennial cultural event that brings together artists, visitors, and communities to create a Public Sculpture Collection in eastern Maine. This gathering of sculptors is a fun and educational way to see how large-scale sculpture is made from granite, one of Maine's natural resources.

Visitors can watch the sculptures in progress. Artists from around the world are selected through a juried process to participate. The sculptures are then placed at public sites in Maine communities. Symposia are scheduled to occur in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015. The symposium is FREE and open to the public
