Final Sculpture Symposium Artwork Unveiled

The Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium (SISS) closed Thursday, Aug. 30, with the unveiling of the finished sculptures and a closing ceremony in the University of Maine’s Steam Plant parking lot. SISS, a partnership this year with UMaine, was a 6-week artist-in-residence program that brought eight sculptors from Maine and around the world to Orono, where the artists each created a public sculpture for partner sites in Bangor (City of Bangor, Husson University and Acadia Hospital), Orono (Town of Orono, University of Maine and the University of Maine Foundation) and Old Town (City of Old Town). There will be three sculptures on the UMaine campus.
