A Few of My Favorite Things: 2011 Exhibit Call for Entry
Description:
From back text: The exhibit will showcase one piece from each collector alongside text explaining the piece's origin and why it is a favorite. These pieces may range from a favorite painting, to sculpture, to coins, to family heirlooms. The story accompanying the artwork will be just as important as the piece itself. The text should explain why the item is one of your favorites--thus enabling the viewer to understand how the artwork came to be a part of the collection. A Few of My Favorite Things 2011 is currently scheduled for the month of August 2011 in the Ethel H. Blum Gallery. Drop off of artwork will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2 and 3, with an opening reception on Thursday, August 4, 2011. The show will run through Saturday, August 20. Curated by Rebecca Woods, summer curator, Ethel H. Blum Gallery, College of the Atlantic [show more]

Beauty and the Beast: Nature Images
Description:
Beauty and the Beast: Nature Images August 18 - October 12, 2003 This exhibit features nineteen color and photogravure prints of New York-based photographer Barbara Yoshida, whose work has been shown throughout the world. Since 1996, six artist's residencies in National Parks, including Acadia National Park, have provided an opportunity for Ms. Yoshida to reexamine her relationship with nature. Her large-format images capture the diversity of landscape on the planet and the various forms of life that it supports, and reflect her conviction that the preservation of nature with a camera is inextricably linked to the preservation of various species and their habitats. In other words, the medium fits the message. Front: Jawbone, Lilies, and Maple. 14" x 11" Silver Gelatin Print. Courtesy of Barbara Yoshida [show more]

Bicycles: An Alternative form of Transportation in the Netherlands
  • https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/b3a8b7c2f05644c5a784d924eed3a054
Description:
The streets are commonplace to all of us. They are a playground to some and a time limit to others. Many of us would love to see the street as a safe place for communities to gather and for people to play and recreate. As long as it does not limit us to work in time. Growing up in the Netherlands I have never seen these two as a conflict, and with the help of some maps, I will show you how road infrastructure in the Netherlands can accommodate both these groups.
