Opening Reception: Friday, May 25, 5-8 pm

The Maine shoreline includes some 3,478 miles and is washed by two high tides each day; the zone that is exposed by the low tides is the tidal, or intertidal zone, home to a complex community of organisms subjected to an environment of harsh extremes. What takes place in this zone? What can be found there? What lives in the water, and what is cast up by the wave action onto shore? What’s special about the tidal zone and how do humans impact this part of our environment? These Maine artists ask us to look closer, more attentively, at life at the edge, between solid land and life at the crashing of waves.

Apr 11, 2018

ROCKLAND — The April show schedule for “21st Century Bohemian” on WRFR 93.3 Rockland/99.3 Camden continues Tuesdays, April 17 and 24, from 6 to 8 p.m.

[...]

On April 24, “21st Century Bohemian” host Teresa Piccari will participate in a Poetry Round Table with Margot Kelley and Sandy Weisman, in celebration of National Poetry Month.

Kelley is the editor-in-chief of The Maine Review, a biannual literary journal that strives to have 20 percent of its content written by Mainers. Kelley is a poet and photographer, among whose projects was a collaboration with many of the artists of the St. George Open Studio weekend that became a chapbook titled “The Thing About the Wind.”

Weisman is a poet and visual artist who creates artist books and collages that use both word and images. Her work has been featured in two anthologies; and journals including The Maine Review, Barrow Street and Muddy River Review. Her artist books and mixed media collages have been exhibited in the Boston area and in Maine.

“I would like to talk about process in writing poetry, or the intersection of poetry and visual art — how they are alike and different,” said Weisman, creator and owner of 26 Split Rock Cove, an artist retreat center in South Thomaston.

CRAFTSWOMEN OF THE MIDCOAST: SANDY WEISMAN, BOOK ARTIST

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Learn about book arts at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday, September 26 at 7:00 pm. Sandy Weisman is an artist / poet / book maker who likes to combine all three. She will talk about the process of those different possibilities through a hands-on exploration of what it means to treat word, image, and structure as co-equals in the creation of making her artist books. Weisman studied textiles at Boston University, book making through the Museum School (Boston), and poetry with Barbara Helfgott-Hyett at PoemWorks in Boston. Currently, she is the owner / director of 26 Split Rock Cove, and artist retreat, artist studio, and workshop space in South Thomaston, ME.

Craftswomen of the Midcoast is a new series of lectures and demonstrations featuring the creative women who call Midcoast Maine home. If you know of an exemplary craftswoman or artist to join our series, please email Cayla at cmiller@librarycamden.org.

Building a Creative Community
 

From the start, Sandy Weisman—a collage artist, bookmaker, and poet—conceived her retirement home as an artist’s retreat. And not just for herself. In 2010 she purchased three acres of an old sheep farm in South Thomaston from a longtime friend. The property had a small house, a barn, and a multibay garage. The barn was in bad shape and had to be torn down. The house was donated to the fire department for a controlled burn. But the garage had potential. While Weisman built a new home on the property, she converted the garage into studios and an apartment so that students and artists could visit to take a class, rent working space, or live for a short period.
