SUMMARY:Out of Your Hands: is more than a manicure
DESCRIPTION:What do painted nails say and not say about us? When we choose a color\, a design\, a length what are we consciously or subconsciously saying about ourselves? Participants will be invited to have their nails painted as a divider separates them from the artists\, the process\, and the final product. What will your nails say about you when they are out of your hands?

SUMMARY:Pelleas et Melisande Open Air Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an evening film screening of the Claude Debussy’s opera Pelléas et Mélisande\, directed and designed by brilliant postmodernist Richard Wilson\, at the Salzburg Festival in 1997. Wilson reinterprets this turn ­of ­the ­century love triangle with his signature minimalist set design and movement while staying true to the opera’s classical sense\, and his production is rich and dreamlike in shifting blues. \nBring a picnic and a blanket indulge in this stark\, strange\, and deeply beautiful story of thwarted love.

SUMMARY:Downeast Soul Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Five musicians who met in Maine’s musical melting pot\, Downeast Soul Coalition has been serving up a tasty and original blend of soul\, funk\, blues\, and R&B since 2012. Each member of the Coalition brings a wealth of musical talents and influences to the band’s high energy performances. \nDSC’s tight sound is anchored by funky bassist frontman Scott Morrison and driven by the relentless grooves of drummer Nancy Durham. It features the scorching sounds of guitarist Nelson Nadeau\, punchy horn lines and soulful saxophone solos by Kate Campbell Strauss\, and the jump blues rhythms and beastly Hammond solos of Mike Vaughan. DSC has produced and released two albums\, which have received airplay on WMPG\, WBLM\, and WHUS. The band continues to attract a loyal following and moves audiences at clubs\, festivals\, and parties throughout Maine.

SUMMARY:GHOSTBUSTERS! Interactive Screening of a Classic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of one of the best films from one of the best years in American Cinema\, 1984’s Ghostbusters. That’s saying a lot since Gremlins\, The Karate Kid\, Beverly Hills Cop\, Temple of Doom\, Terminator\, Purple Rain\, Spinal Tap\, Repo Man\, Romancing The Stone\, A Nightmare on Elm Street\, Sixteen Candles and a ton more all came out in 1984.\nWhat the heck do we mean by an “interactive screening?” – Each visitor or group will get their own noisemaker (like a kazoo for example) attached to a notecard with instructions for when to use said noisemaker (every time a character says “gatekeeper” for example).  If you’ve seen it 100 times come flex your Ghostbusters viewing muscles by being right on cue\, if you’ve never seen Ghostbusters – first of all what’s wrong with you? jk – we can’t think of a better first time to see it than this\, and if you’re like most people and have seen it but it’s been awhile come watch it with fresh eyes…and a buzzer. \nINSTRUCTIONS AND PARTICIPATORY MATERIALS AT 6:00\, FILM BEGINS AT DUSK.
