SUMMARY:Underwater Opera Youth Theatre Camp
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our “first ever” week-long Youth Theatre Camp. This camp is centered on Smithereen Farm and Greenhorns’ Reversing Hall Agrarian Library and led by a group of young and highly motivated theatre professionals from New York and California who share our ethos of bioregionalism\, self determination and youth empowerment. \nAt the heart of the camp is holistic\, uninhibited creativity. In the incredible marine and riverine habitats of our area\, children will find natural inspiration to create their own theatrical performance about the eco-system. Your child will learn creative skills by helping build an artistic community and immersing themselves in an environment of rivers and bays\, of seas and beaches\, barrens\, and bogs.\nGuided by instructors with backgrounds in theatre\, clowning\, and education\, your child will learn the basic elements of theatre through daily acting\, singing\, movement\, and improv classes. Each day will be filled with outdoor excursions in which your child will integrate their learning by singing to the trees and dancing with the water. The day camp will culminate in a final showcase for friends and family — a student-driven show that utilizes an incredible handpainted underwater backdrop created by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team during the www.ForAlltheFish.org campaign earlier this spring.\nAll are welcome to join us for the performance at the end: a youth-led tale of the marine heritage\, comedy/tragedy\, prospects and particularities of this place and moment in time. Amidst theatrical instruction and show development\, students will learn about the ecological history of their area through guided study at Greenhorns Agrarian Library. We’ll learn from atlases\, field guides\, indigenous accounts of encounters with settlers\, from wild food cookbooks\, as well as many other formats. We’ll focus on cod\, pollock\, alewives\, sardines\, clams… all will inspire the costumes and set design.\nWant to bring the whole family? We can help you find accommodations if needed. \nUnderwater Opera is designed for youth ages 7-13 and meets during the day only. Cost is $640 for the full week which includes lunch.

SUMMARY:Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble was born in Brooklyn\, NY in 2013 with a much different cast of characters\, except for the stalwart Ross Gallagher who has held it down in every version of this band. When Danny moved to Downeast Maine in 2015 seeking a new logic to his life and musical pursuits\, he started to slowly lay the groundwork and musical will to re-assemble this project. In 2023 this version of the group came into being\, and in 2025 they released their album World of Difference on Fishkill Records. This band is made up of some of the most exciting improvising musicians in the state\, and the music they make together\, while it bears the markings of its roots in the Jazz tradition\, is distinctly on its own terrain. The result is alive\, richly textured\, rhythmically grounded and complex\, ecstatic\, and deeply connected to the body and the emotions. No previous expertise required.

SUMMARY:Underwater Opera Youth Theatre Camp
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our “first ever” week-long Youth Theatre Camp. This camp is centered on Smithereen Farm and Greenhorns’ Reversing Hall Agrarian Library and led by a group of young and highly motivated theatre professionals from New York and California who share our ethos of bioregionalism\, self determination and youth empowerment. \nAt the heart of the camp is holistic\, uninhibited creativity. In the incredible marine and riverine habitats of our area\, children will find natural inspiration to create their own theatrical performance about the eco-system. Your child will learn creative skills by helping build an artistic community and immersing themselves in an environment of rivers and bays\, of seas and beaches\, barrens\, and bogs.\nGuided by instructors with backgrounds in theatre\, clowning\, and education\, your child will learn the basic elements of theatre through daily acting\, singing\, movement\, and improv classes. Each day will be filled with outdoor excursions in which your child will integrate their learning by singing to the trees and dancing with the water. The day camp will culminate in a final showcase for friends and family — a student-driven show that utilizes an incredible handpainted underwater backdrop created by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team during the www.ForAlltheFish.org campaign earlier this spring.\nAll are welcome to join us for the performance at the end: a youth-led tale of the marine heritage\, comedy/tragedy\, prospects and particularities of this place and moment in time. Amidst theatrical instruction and show development\, students will learn about the ecological history of their area through guided study at Greenhorns Agrarian Library. We’ll learn from atlases\, field guides\, indigenous accounts of encounters with settlers\, from wild food cookbooks\, as well as many other formats. We’ll focus on cod\, pollock\, alewives\, sardines\, clams… all will inspire the costumes and set design.\nWant to bring the whole family? We can help you find accommodations if needed. \nUnderwater Opera is designed for youth ages 7-13 and meets during the day only. Cost is $640 for the full week which includes lunch.

SUMMARY:Get to Know the Summer Stars Over Schoodic
DESCRIPTION:As darkness falls over the Schoodic Peninsula\, the Milky Way arches across the sky from horizon to horizon. Late summer’s most prominent constellations are suspended within its pale glow. \nAmateur astronomer Richard Luecke will take you on an indoor 50-minute image-enhanced journey along that river of starlight and introduce you to summer’s most prominent constellations. You’ll learn to identify Perseus\, Cassiopeia and Andromeda\, Cygnus the Swan\, and Aquila\, Zeus’s pet eagle. Your journey will end in the constellation Sagittarius\, which marks the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. It glistens with star clusters and glowing clouds of interstellar gas that even our naked eyes can perceive in Schoodic’s dark sky. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus first. Weather permitting\, we’ll venture outside for a green laser tour\, where you’ll meet these sky wonders face-to-face—and likely see a few flashing meteors! A large astronomical telescope will provide stunning views of the ET Cluster\, the Great Andromeda Galaxy\, the Dumbbell Nebula and more. \nBring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary. \n$15 admission. Please register online.\nFor 9/3 register here: https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/summer-stars-over-schoodic/\nFor 9/10 register here: https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/summer-stars-over-schoodic-ii/

SUMMARY:Vicki Pollard Speaks about Acupuncture at Blue Hill Library
DESCRIPTION:Vicki Pollard started practicing acupuncture in Blue Hill\, in 1979. So few people knew what acupuncture was that she charged $25 per treatment and was often pain in either lobster\, eggs\, a pottery cup\, or something else. After nearly 50 years\, Vicki is still learning about the magic and wisdom of acupuncture. In this talk\, Vicki will speak about how she sees healing happen. How does it work that inserting a tiny needle changes one’s health and brings about harmony and well-being? The talk is free and open to all.

SUMMARY:One Nation\, Under Fraud: The Penobscot Remonstrance and the Fight for Sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion offering a critical examination of Maine’s historical and legal relationship with the Wabanaki Nations. \nDrawing on archival records—including the 1942 Maine Legislative Research Committee hearings—and landmark court decisions such as Murch v. Tomer and State v. Newell\, the discussion reveals how law and policy were deliberately shaped to control\, diminish\, and deny Wabanaki sovereignty. Through a combination of historical narrative and legal analysis\, the panel explores what the authors describe as “genocide by jurisprudence”—the use of law as a tool of dispossession—and the enduring consequences of those decisions today. \nThe panel brings together Chief Judge\, Penobscot Nation Tribal Court\, Hon. Eric M. Mehnert; Tribal Appellate Judge\, Hon. Joseph G.E. Gousse\, Attorney\, Berman & Simmons; and Hon. Donna M. Loring\, Penobscot Nation Elder and former Representative\, Maine State Legislature. Each panelist brings a distinct perspective: judicial insight from the Tribal Courts\, lived experience in state government\, and a shared commitment to truth-telling grounded in the historical record. Together\, they will examine how these “paper chains” were forged—and what it will take to break them. \nFollowing the panel at 6:30 p.m\, participants are invited to continue the conversation next door at the Abbe Museum\, where the exhibit “In the Shadow of the Eagle” offers a powerful visual and cultural companion to the issues discussed. Co-curated by Donna Loring\, in collaboration with Wabanaki scholars and artists\, the exhibit explores parallel narratives of Wabanaki self-governance and the imposition of state and federal authority—bringing to life the history\, resilience\, and ongoing struggle for sovereignty that remain at the heart of this discussion. \nPresented in partnership with the MDI Historical Society\, the Abbe Museum\, and the Jesup Memorial Library\, and based on Donna Loring’s article “One Nation Under Fraud\,” featured in the 2026 edition of the history journal ‘Chebacco. ‘

SUMMARY:Water’s Embrace: The Works of Jerri Finch
DESCRIPTION:Waterfall Arts Presents Water’s Embrace: The Works of Jerri Finch\nOn View: September 10–October 10\, 2026 \nOpening Reception\nThursday\, September 10 | 5:30 – 7:30 PM\nWaterfall Arts | Clifford Gallery \nArtist Talk\nThursday\, October 1 | 6:00 PM \nFor more than 40 years\, artist Jerri Finch has been painting water. Through decades of exploration\, her practice has evolved from appliqué to airbrush and machine quilting\, and ultimately to oil painting. With Water’s Embrace\, Finch shares her ongoing pursuit of something beyond the visual representation of water: its movement\, sensation\, atmosphere\, and transformative power. \nFor Finch\, water is not simply a subject. It is an immersive experience. She shares its fluidity\, the salt on her lips\, the wind in her hair\, the droplets of fog on her face\, and the sensation of surrendering herself to the water. All of these experiences inform her work. \nCold-water immersion has become an especially transformative part of Finch’s life and creative practice. When the water calls\, she enters its cold embrace to float\, swim\, or gently move with it. These experiences shape her understanding of water\, not just as something to observe\, but as something to feel. \nWater’s Embrace is an invitation to experience water through Finch’s eyes\, but also through the senses. Water is the liquid that makes life on Earth possible. As water cycles from the air to the land to the sea and back again\, it shapes our planet and nearly every aspect of our lives. These works explore the fluidity\, energy\, and surrender that come from being immersed in something larger than oneself. There is a peace and joyfulness in this body of work\, a sense of fulfillment that time by and in the ocean offers us. \nThrough this collection\, Finch hopes to inspire viewers to do more than look at the water. Instead\, she invites us to embrace it in new and playful ways.
