Dark the Night and Bright the Stars showcases visual art, textiles, sculpture, and traditional crafts to focus on themes of ancestry. Each of the seven Maine artists brings unique perspectives influenced by Passamaquoddy, Mi’kmaq, Jewish, Afro-Atlantic, Scandinavian, and Celtic ancestral roots. Special events, including storytelling, a community art project, and artist talks that have been paired with the exhibition to deepen audience engagement with the artists’ stories and heritage.
