7 PM, Friday, August 7: Artists' Talk

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.
Each symposia last 6-weeks, from late July to early September. 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. The symposium is free and open to the public. A presentation of the invited artists’ work will be held at 7 PM, Friday, August 7 at Hammond Hall in Winter Harbor.
