EVENT DETAILS
Saturday December 7th, 1:30-3:30pm
Join us for a facilitated conversation at the intersection of art, ecology and the good life. Our inaugural cohort of Maine Ecology and Art Residents (MEAR) will be joined in dialogue by the directors of Seguinland Institute, Philip Francis and Marsha Dunn, and the ED of The Parsonage Gallery, Aaron Rosen. MEAR emerges from the shared vision of Seguinland and the Parsonage to promote creativity and dialogue with exceptional contemporary artists exploring ecological themes. This year’s artists include Alicia Ethridge, Eileen Ryan, Brian Smith and Holden Willard. Come join in the conversation in Seguinland’s Treetop Gathering Space!
Bi-Annual Foraged Feast
Our students work with expert foragers to study, harvest, and prepare a sumptuous repast. Each student develops a dish centered on a different foraged ingredient. At the feast, students present their edible creations along with an original ode-to-a-plant. Odes and dishes are shared with members of the community at the Foraged Feast.
