SUMMARY:Rockweed Forum Art Show: Floating Filaments
DESCRIPTION:Local Artists of all Styles\n\n\n\n\nEvery month\, the Blue Hill Co-op features a local artist in the café. You may see paintings\, photography\, textiles\, felted pieces\, or any other type of visual art. We’re proud to showcase artists from the Blue Hill Peninsula and to help people find new additions to their personal collections. \n\nIn May\, the featured show will be “Rockweed Forum Art Show: Floating Filaments” \nFourteen artists have contributed work to the show in a wide range of media (oil\, watercolor\, photography\, collage\, pressed seaweed\, fiber art\, cyanotypes\, jewelry\, etc). Along our rocky coast seaweeds drape the boulders and ledges of our shoreline with garlands of color and texture attracting the eye of both artist and scientist.  It is the hope of the Rockweed Forum that this exhibit will draw attention to the numerous seaweeds that are an integral part of our Maine coast. \n\nThe show will run May 1 – 30 with a reception from 3:00 – 5:00 pm on Sunday\, May 4th.

SUMMARY:Seaweed ID Weekend Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Start your weekend with some seaweed ID! \nEver wondered how many species of seaweed grow in Maine? How they change with the seasons? Or which ones are edible? Join us for a hands-on species ID workshop and intertidal beach walk with Maine Sea Grant’s seaweed specialist\, Jaclyn Robidoux\, and get your questions answered. \nWe’ll explore the rocky shore near Two Lights State Park at and during low tide (10:30 am on 5/3)\, learning to identify native edible seaweeds and diving into their ecological roles\, seasonal rhythms\, and environmental benefits. We’ll also talk about Maine’s growing seaweed farming industry\, sustainable harvest practices\, and the big role this unique marine resource plays in the state’s coastal economy. \nWe’ll bring the field guides\, seaweed samples\, and snacks to take home—just bring your outdoor gear and questions! \nRegistration: $20. Children 10 and under are free—please note if they’ll be joining when you sign up so we can bring enough supplies. Space is limited. \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nLOCATION \nThis workshop is being held at Dyer Cove in Cape Elizabeth\, near Two Lights State Park. Parking is available in the lot next to Dyer Cove\, adjacent to the lot for The Lobster Shack at Two Lights. To map to Dyer Cove\, folks can use the address: 225 Two Lights Road\, Cape Elizabeth\, ME 04107. We’ll meet out on Dyer Cove beach. \n  \nWEATHER NOTE \nThis workshop may require navigating some slick and/or rocky terrain. Attendees should have proper footwear (rubber boots/shoes with good traction that may get wet) and dress accordingly for a few hours in the Maine outdoors\, especially as it can be colder and more windy on the ocean.
