SUMMARY:Save Our Summits Hike
DESCRIPTION:Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation! \nAcadia National Park\, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute\, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains to be used for plant restoration. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park. \nAdvanced registration is required for this event. Please register at https://friendsofacadia.org/soilhero

SUMMARY:"Honoring Frank:" The Artwork of Francis Hamabe Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Hill Public Library will present\, “Honoring Frank\,” a comprehensive exhibit at the Blue Hill Public Library of the works of Francis Hamabe (1917-2002)\, beginning with prints created in the 1940s while he was overseas during World War II\, until his last drawings\, made from a hospital bed in 2002. “Honoring Frank” will open on August 3rd and continue to the 29th. The public is invited to an opening reception on Friday\, August 7th from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. The special exhibit is presented in conjunction with the Castine Historical Society\, which is hosting “Francis Hamabe’s Maine: A Life in Art” through October 12. \nWorks on display will include cartoons\, cubist style paintings\, abstract works\, painted ceramics\, silkscreens on nautical charts\, and posters. Frank was multifaceted as he worked fluidly between his varied styles depicting images of Blue Hill\, his home for 47 years\, and coastal and eastern Maine towns from Camden to Bangor to Machias in watercolors and prints. \nThe artists Hamabe most admired were Stuart Davis\, Alexander Calder\, and John Marin\, whose influence is evident in Hamabe’s recurring themes of harbor views\, fishing boats\, churches\, Maine villages\, and children playing. His work was also rooted in both Japanese and Swedish cultures\, reflecting his own heritage. His later calligraphic images leap off the page in exuberant color with gestural movement\, while his line drawings of village life are reminiscent of Scandinavian folk designs. \nMany of the works included in the exhibit are on loan from private collectors\, some of whom worked with him at the University of Maine in Orono when he was the director for the Maine Public radio station. Down East Magazine covers\, greeting cards\, notes\, and the leather satchel he used to carry his painting supplies will be on view. There will be a selection of prints and paintings for sale with part of the proceeds benefiting the library. \nAccompanying the exhibit is a catalogue featuring items culled from the library’s Hamabe archives\, donated by his widow\, Phyllis Hamabe\, in 2012. These items touch on his early years in Orange\, New Jersey where he was born and raised\, the son of a Japanese immigrant father and Swedish immigrant mother. Photographs document his time as an enlisted medic in the US Army and later as the first art teacher at the Farnsworth Museum. Also included are press clippings from his puppet performances\, his 1996 honorary degree from the University of Maine at Machias\, and recollections from students\, colleagues\, and friends who knew him best. \nFrank was an artist of extraordinary kindness and generosity\, who loved his family\, friends\, and community. Ultimately his legacy\, through his work and the lives he touched\, is one of joy and laughter. \n“Honoring Frank” is curated by Jennifer Mitchell-Nevin\, Anne Nevin\, and Marcia Stremlau. The exhibition will be available for viewing during library hours in the Britton Gallery and Roland Howard Room through August 29th\, with access to artwork in the Howard Room subject to the meeting schedule. For more information contact the library at 374-5515.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Brooklin: Where our past and future meet
DESCRIPTION:BROOKLIN\, Maine — Friend Memorial Public Library invites the public to Celebrate Brooklin: Where our past and future meet\, a free community event on Friday\, August 7\, 7:00 p.m. at Brooklin Boat Yard\, 44 Center Harbor Road. Docks and doors open at 6:30 p.m.\, with films beginning at 7:30 p.m. \nThe evening will feature the premiere screening of two newly completed short films: CIRRUS: A Wooden Boat Story and steward•ship: a love letter to the maine coast. Filmmakers Ken Murphy\, Durier Ryan\, and Luc Milam will be in attendance to meet guests and share more about the stories behind the films. \nCIRRUS: A Wooden Boat Story tells the story of Cirrus\, a 1930 Fishers Island 31 designed by Sidney Herreshoff\, and the enduring care required to preserve a wooden boat with history\, beauty\, and meaning. steward•ship: a love letter to the maine coast follows the restoration of an H-28 through the eyes of its young owner\, exploring craftsmanship\, mentorship\, and the relationships between generations. \nGuests will also see familiar Brooklin residents on screen\, including Maynard Bray\, Jon Wilson\, Steve White\, and others whose lives and work reflect the town’s deep maritime heritage and enduring community spirit. \nWhile the films are rooted in maritime heritage\, the event is designed as a larger celebration of Brooklin itself. The evening invites year-round residents\, seasonal residents\, newcomers\, Library supporters\, and friends of Brooklin to gather\, meet one another\, and celebrate the people\, traditions\, and shared sense of stewardship that help define the community. \n“Our Celebrate Brooklin event is about bringing people together around the things we value and want to carry forward\,” said Robert A. Baird\, Chair of the Friend Memorial Public Library Capital Campaign. “The films give us a beautiful starting point\, but the evening is really about Brooklin—its people\, its traditions\, its generosity\, and its future. We are grateful to the filmmakers for helping create an event that welcomes the whole community while supporting the Library’s next chapter.” \nThe evening will also include live music\, light refreshments\, boat viewing\, exhibits\, and a live and silent auction. \nThe event is presented by Friend Memorial Public Library in support of its Capital Campaign\, which will preserve and expand the historic Library building and help establish the future Anne and Maynard Bray Maritime Research Center. The Center will house one of the nation’s most important private collections of materials and photographs documenting wooden boat and ship design\, construction\, operation\, and history. To date\, the campaign has raised $3.1M of its $4.4M goal. \nCelebrate Brooklin is free and open to all\, with no RSVP required. The event will be held rain or shine.
