There are no available registration dates at this time.
How do we engage with the spaces and places around us, and what differentiates the two? Place is a dynamic concept that deals with how we as individuals and communities find meaning. Sense of Place can be experienced in a short span of time, or over a lifetime.
Our week in Maine will focus on how space becomes a place through historic and contemporary artworks, field trips along the Maine coast and interior, as well as daily image reviews from the daily excursions. Field trips to record the essence of coastal Maine – its light, landscape, and culture.
The workshop is for the novice to the experienced image-maker to gain experience in working with the concept of “sense of place” whether a curiosity or for projects underway.
