Common Currents: Art inspired by Casco Bay • Friends of Casco Bay

  • Maine College of Art & Design 522 Congress Street Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Exhibit: April 7-18, Congress Street Windows

Reception and light snacks: Wednesday, April 8, 5:30-6:30

Friends of Casco Bay is proud to partner with this year’s Ocean Currents class at Maine College of Art & Design (MECA&D) for an exhibit of student work inspired by Casco Bay.

Over the past several months, students have stepped outside the studio to experience the Bay by participating in a shoreline cleanup, visiting Little Diamond Island, and learning about the dirty history of Casco Bay with our staff. Along the way, they’ve explored the science, stories, and environmental challenges affecting our coastal waters, from pollution and climate change to habitat health.

This exhibit showcases how those experiences took shape in their creative work—offering fresh perspectives on the waters that define our region and inviting viewers to see Casco Bay through a new lens.

A reception to celebrate the artists, artworks, and Casco Bay will be held on April 8 at 5:30 p.m. in the lobby at MECA&D. Light refreshments will be provided by MECA&D Catering. April 9 is reserved as a snow date–because we all know how unpredictable the weather can be this time of year.
