Boothbay Register advances climate change, art discussion in Newcastle
Boothbay Register published a news release announcing the first in a series of public conversations that bring together ceramic art masters, scientists and Mainers working in natural resource-based fields to examine intersections between art and contemporary environmental issues. At 5:30 p.m. July 7 at St. Patrick’s Church in Newcastle, Port Clyde lobsterman Gerry Cushman will join University of Maine marine scientist Robert Steneck and artist Nancy Selvin to view images of artist Paula Winokur’s installations inspired by Greenland’s icebergs, and discuss how melting polar ice is impacting the Gulf of Maine. The series, “Elemental Intersections,” is organized by the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, in partnership with University of Maine Cooperative Extension and the Maine Sea Grant Program.
