The Arnold Newman Master Lecture Series
Every year, Maine Media is proud to present the The Arnold Newman Master Lecture Series at the Rockport Opera House. Every Monday and Tuesday evening during the summer season, incredible artists who are teaching at MMW that week share their their work, perspectives, wisdom, and inspirations with our midcoast community. The lectures are each captured by our summer Media Producers, and viewable here in the Members Area.
We would like to thank Bangor Savings Bank for sponsoring the 2018 lecture series and making these transformative evenings possible.
Featured Lectures:
Presidential Inaugural Richard Blanco and landscape photographer Jacob Hessler on their recent collaborative book project, “Boundaries” (Two Ponds Press, 2017), an investigation into visible and invisible boundaries of race, gender, class, and ethnicity, among many others. They speak about the book itself, as well as the process of their collaboration.
