Carl Little returns to ASC to share some images from Art of Penobscot Bay, his and brother David’s fourth collaboration. In addition to providing a tour of the bay, Little will address a few questions. How did this compilation come together? What were some of the challenges? Why Penobscot Bay?

Little is the author of numerous art books and writes on a regular basis for several publications, including The Working Waterfront, Ornament, Hyperallergic, and Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors. The year he retired from the Maine Community Foundation, 2021, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his art writing from the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation. He lives in Somesville.  

The in-person lunch and presentation will take place together at Birch Bay Village in Hulls Cove, starting at 11:30 a.m. The cost for attending both is $17 -there are no in-person seats available for the presentation only.

The Zoom-only presentation is free and begins at noon. If you register for the online talk you will receive the link the day before the event.
