THE POEMS in this directory represent both the native writer - Gotts Islander, novelist and poet Ruth Moore - and the summer resident whose poetry reflects his deep attachment to Hancock County - Samuel French Morse. For more poems by Ruth Moore, see her Cold as a Dog and the Wind Northeast (Cam­den, Maine: Gorden Bok, 1958/1973) and The Tired Apple Tree (Nobleboro, Maine: Blackberry Books, 1990). “The Offshore Islands” is from The Tired Apple Tree. For more by Samuel French Morse, see Collected Poems (Orono, Maine: National Poetry Foundation, 1995), where “A Kind of View” and “The Whiitethroat in July” appear.

A Kind ofViewI look one way from the porch, as far

As the summer light and the crowding trees-

As much as a couple of hundred yards-

Allow the eye; though for all it sees

One way, straight forward, it misses much.

But the eye can wander, unconfined,

And frame a view to satisfy

The longer sightings of the mind.

Beyond the darkness of the trees

The sunlight falling free suggests

A landlocked bay. The eye perceives

The light, at least, and there it rests

Until, distracted, I can look

Away. The air moves every leaf.

The branches bend. The landscape stirs.

Imagination, like belief,

Transforms the world. I look again

Down past the shadow. I can see

The bay and all the land beyond.

And I am where I ought to be.

SAMUEL FRENCH MORSE

THE OFFSHORE ISLANDS

The offshore islands belong to themselves.

They stand in their own sea.

They do not inherit; they leave no heirs.

They are no man’s legacy.

Blazing volcanoes, cooled and dead,

Marked nowhere a boundary line.

The rise and fall of oceans left

Not one no trespassing sign.

The money was never minted,

The clutch of its greed so strong

It could honor a deed: TO HAVE AN D TO HOLD,

And keep these wild lands long.

The first summer people were Indians.

For some five thousand years

They built up shore-line shell heaps before

They lost to the pioneers.

The white man took what he wanted.

He had privilege, laws, and guns.

He made fast his own boundary lines

And his property went to his sons.

From the west they sailed in Chebacco boats,

And the high-sterned pinkys, Essex-made.

In harbors where water was deep enough,

Their schooners carried a coast-wise trade.

The homesteads they made were sturdy,

But those who built near the shores

Had to dig, if they didn’t want Indian shells

All over their cellar floors.

Then time slipped by, as inheritance does.

They felt the mainland’s pull.

They abandoned their homes to rot away,

And their cemeteries full.

Theirs was the time of history

And written records show

That their hold on the offshore islands began

Less than four hundred years ago.

Now comes the era of real estate,

Of the hundred thousand dollar lots,

Of the condominiums, side by side,

Along the shoreline choicest spots.

What follows the time of developers

No human voice can tell.

But the silent offshore islands know,

And they handle their mysteries well.

They speak with a voice that is all their own,

And this is what they say:

That they talk in terms of a billion years

That their now is not today.

And the ghosts they brought along with them

Have never gone away.

RUTH MOORE

HANCOCK COUNTY: A CULTURAL DIRECTORY

This Directory was compiled at the request of artists and arts organizations in Hancock Count/, Maine, for a handbook that would list the county’s cultural organiza­

tions and artists, together with facilities and ser­

vices they need. Thus it may serve the ceramicist seeking other potters to form a raku group, the painter

in search of audiences and display areas, the educator planning

for visiting artists in the schools, the dancer in charge of pub­

licity for a recital, the person setting up a tour of galleries, the

reader seeking the address of a favorite poet, the librarian

wanting to schedule a poetry reading, or the individual hop­

ing to commission a work of art.

This directory lists any artist or organization wishing to

be included. It is non-commercial, for distribution primarily to

the artists and arts organizations, as well as county schools,

libraries, and municipal organizations.There is no charge to be

included and no charge for the directory.

This directory is drawn from a more inclusive data

base, compatible with databases at the Maine Arts Commis­

sion and the National Endowment for the Arts. The aim is a

living record, easily corrected and updated, from which future

editions may be drawn. We hope that the database and the

directory may provide useful models for other areas which

may want to record and publicize their cultural life.

THE ORIGINTHE MAINE ARTS COMMISSION, after a series of state-wide

public meetings and much creative brainstorming, completely

reinvented itself in 1993. The aim was to increase service to

the arts in a period of anticipated financial drought. Among

the results were pioneer initiatives in Community Arts and

Arts in Education. The Community Arts Committee con­

ceived its mission “as initiator and facilitator to provide meth­

ods and models for arts communities throughout the state

and - perhaps - the nation to enable these communities to

find and develop their own cultural expression.”

Before we could “initiate and facilitate” we needed to

know more about the far-flung and widely different arts com­

munities in Maine. We selected four as diverse as possible and

undertook in each a cultural assessment. These are Lewis-

ton/Auburn, Rangeley, Presque Isle and environs, and - ambi­

tiously - the whole of Hancock County. In this county we

engaged three experts to assess the existing state of the arts:

Tina Bucuvalas for traditional arts, Tom Carroll for maritime

cultural resources, and Carol Gardien Trimble for arts in the

public schools. Their extensive reports are available at the

Maine Arts Commission in Augusta and at major libraries in

the county.

The principles of the Community Arts discovery

research were:

1. to keep the emphasis on the artist

in the community;

2. to balance concern for the quality of the arts with

the needs and traditions of the community;

3. to respect those needs and traditions - not impos­

ing our standards and values;

4. to involve members of the community at all stages;

5. to do everything possible to facilitate all local initia­

tives with models, administrative assistance, education, and

information, so that

they continue healthy

and productive on

their own.

In H an co ck

County we held a

town meeting, where

we learned a great

deal about the needs

and desires of the

artists and cultural

organizations. From

this discussion we

identified five areas of

concern and sched­

uled focus-group meetings to which all interested persons

were invited: Arts in Education, Individual Artists, Arts Orga­

nizations, Traditional Arts, and A Sense of Place: Arts in the

Environment. (Notes on all meetings are available at the

MAC office in Augusta.) We then called a town meeting to

share the results of these gatherings and to establish short-

range and long-range priorities. The top short-range priority

was this directory.

A subcommittee then went to work to contact

through the media and by phone every artist and arts orga­

nization it could find. Kate Doyle, Mary L. Greene, Kris

Kapenekas,Judy McGeorge, Kathleen Mundell,Tammy Packie,

Anna Marie Saintonge, June Sproule, Marion Stocking, Cyn­

thia Thayer and Becky Thompson did ground work, the basic

computer setup, and telephoning. Kathleen Mundell was the

MAC staff person in charge; Marion Stocking chaired the

Community Arts Committee; Leslie Moore edited this text

and saw it through the press.

WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE COME FROMO N O LD POINT in Lamoine, I stand on beautiful foliated

ledges, worn into fantastic layered peaks and valleys by the

tides of the Mount Desert Narrows. I am standing on

bedrock deposited

about 450 million

years ago, when

most of New Eng­

land was under

water. The softness

and loveliness of this

bedrock express the

pressures and meta­

m o rp h o se s that

underlie H ancock

County’s ancient his­

tory. These are not

Maine’s oldest rocks

(those are 1.5 billion

years old), but they are old enough for my imagination, since

they precede the period when present-day Europe and then

Africa collided with North America to form the superconti­

nent Pangaea. Looking across this arm of Frenchman Bay I

see the glacially-scoured granite peaks of the mountains of

Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, formed in the

Devonian time, about 375,000 years ago. They bear witness

to the four (perhaps as many as nine) glacial periods that

have smothered this area in ice during the Quaternary Peri­

od. In our current glacial period, as recorded in the rocks and

the thin soil of Hancock County, 14,000 years ago the entire

coast of Maine, out beyond the islands, was under mile-deep

ice. Water from the melting ice subsequently drowned the

INTRODUCTION 7

In the earlier part of the century, Hancock County had a flourishing economy in fishing, lumbering, granite, shipbuilding and ice cutting. Four masted schooner Nancy Hanks shown at the Settlement Q uarry wharf in Deer Isle, circa 1925. Photo courtesy Deer Isle Stonington Historical Society.

present coastline, but 13,000 years ago the tips of the MDI

mountains were out of the water; another thousand and

Hancock County had emerged, covered with poplar forest, as

the land, freed of the great weight of the ice, rose. For sev­

eral thousand years, the coastline was out beyond the pre­

sent islands, and the vegetation changed to mixed woodland

and then to forest. Only about 3,000 years ago did the shore­

line reach today’s level.

At my back as I stand on Old Point is a deep shell1 mid­

den, recording the Ceramic Period people who inhabited the

area two to three thousand years ago. Up-river at Ellsworth

Falls is a Paleo-lndian site left by the first people to move in

as the ice retreated. The Abbe Museum in (though not of)

Acadia National Park protects and honors the culture of the

Native American peoples. Descendants of the Algonkian-

speaking people still teach and market their baskets and

other crafts in the county.

In 1524 Verrazzano recorded the location of Mount

Desert Island, and in 1604 Champlain gave it its name. Until

1763, when the Peace of Paris granted control of the area to

Britain, the French colonial influence predominated. By the

early nineteenth century Hancock County was flourishing

with fishing, shipbuilding, lumbering, granite quarrying, and ice

cutting. Ellsworth was the world’s largest lumber port;

Franklin produced more railroad ties than anywhere else in

the country; silver mining made Sullivan and Blue Hill boom

towns; MDI and Deer Isle granite provided mill wheels and

the finest building materials for the nation; in Sedgwick was

the world’s largest natural ice plant.

As these natural resources were exhausted - or lost

their demand as steam replaced sail, and electricity and rein­

forced concrete killed the ice and granite industries - the

ocean and the extraordinary beauty of the landscape began

to attract new sources of wealth In 1844 Thomas Cole, the

founder of the Hudson River School of painting, described

Hancock County so glowingly that artists, educators,

8 HANCOCK COUNTY CULTURAL DIRECTORY

financiers, and professional men and woman flocked to the

area. By the I890’s Bar Harbor had become one of the

nation’s most fashionable resorts, with magnificant summer

“cottages” built for Carnegies, Fords, Rockefellers, Morgans,

Vanderbilts, Biddles, and Astors.

AND NOW...H A N C O C K C O U N T Y TODAY dazzles with its diversity. Of

its 1,629 square miles, nearly 20% is covered with water.

With its 393 scattered islands, it has 1,666 miles of coastline.

Its odd elongated area, roughly echoing the shape of the

State of Maine, essentially encompasses the Union River

watershed. It is hard to imagine a region more diverse. Trav­

eling from west to east, in forty-some miles one moves from

the paper-mill town of Bucksport on the Penobscot River,

through the retail and cultural crossroads of Ellsworth on

the Union River, to the W inter Harbor Naval Base and the

great open ledges of the Schoodic Peninsula on the open

Atlantic to the east. Flying north to south one begins in deep

woods at Sysladobsis Lake, soars over forty miles of lakes

and streams, then forty miles more, over the glamour of Bar

Harbor and the wild glory of Acadia National Park, out to

the whale-road and the fishermen’s islands to the south.

In its inhabitants (48,836 as of 1994) Hancock County

is more homogeneous. The large majority of the residents

trace their ancestry to Ireland and Great Britain, with signif­

icant minorities from France, Italy, and Germany. Only recent­

ly have a few African-Americans and Asians enriched the pop­

ulation. As Tina Bucuvalas puts it in her ethnographic survey

prepared for this project:

County citizens often manifest an historically rooted world view which prized self-sufficiency.This philosophy was certainly necessary in past centuries, when Maine was relatively isolated from urban areas in other parts of the country. Although less essential today, it continues to pro­vide a sort of safety net whereby people are not tied to market fluctuations or politics.... Many county residents whose families have been here for generations still mill their own lumber, con­struct their own homes, build and maintain their own boats, hunt, follow other traditional familial occupations, preserve food, and conduct their social lives primarily within the family circle.

Many agricultural arts flourish on about three hundred

farms in the county, from large wild blueberry barrens to

several significant organic farms. Other arts witness the fact

that Hancock County’s land is 85% forest, 43% owned by for­

est products companies. At one extreme is the Champion

Paper Company mill in Bucksport; at the other is the lucra­

tive cottage industry of wreath-making. Ellsworth, the “shire-

town” and the county’s largest community, has a population

of about 6,000. Frenchboro, the smallest, had at last count 44.

Hancock County’s institutions of higher education

include the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine; the College

of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, a four year liberal arts college

offering degrees in Human Ecology; and the Ellsworth Cen­

ter of the University of Maine System. Many of the towns

also have extensive adult education programs.

Since Hancock County boasts about a third of the

state’s total coastline, including twelve of Maine’s fifty estuar­

ies with their productive tidal flats, marine arts are a signifi­

cant element of the economy.The county pulls in about 30%

of the state’s $ 100 million lobster haul, along with a signifi­

cant harvest of fin fish, shrimp, scallops, eels, sea urchins,

clams, mussels, and bait worms. Boatbuilding remains a major

traditional occupation, with about 32 boatbuilding establish­

ments. Maine Maritime Academy provides higher education in

nautical sciences and marine engineering.

Many other traditional arts flourish, domestic and dec­

orative, for home use and for commercial sales: textile arts

such as quilting, knitting, rugmaking, spinning and weaving;

woodworking, such as decoy carving, furniture and toy mak­

ing; dances; storytelling; regional cooking and community

meals, from hunters’ breakfasts to grange suppers; holiday

decorations and traditions; and many more.

Since Thomas Cole first discovered the attraction of

Mount Desert Island, artists have flocked to the county. We

see Castine Harbor through the eye of Fitz Hugh Lane, Deer

Isle as John Marin viewed it, Marsden Hartley’s Corea, Fred­

10 HANCOCK COUNTY CULTURAL DIRECTORY

erick Church’s MDI. Pierre Monteux founded his still-flour­

ishing school for conductors in Hancock; Blue Hill and Mount

Desert continue to attract musicians of the highest distinc­

tion. Hancock County has nourished writers as various as E.

B. White, Buckminster Fuller, Ruth Moore, Marguerite Your-

cenar, Helen and Scott Nearing, and Robert Lowell.

Today Maine’s artists, many with global reputations, live

quietly in communities that honor them by respecting their

privacy. Hancock County is itself an arts community, but

within it is a great diversity of smaller communities, from the

Wednesday Spinners to the internationally honored Gilbert

and Sullivan Society. The Downeast Chapter of the Union of

Maine Visual Artists is vigorous. The Surry Opera Company

performs regularly in Russia and Japan as well as Surry (pop.

1,004).The Lamoine Patrons of the Arts celebrates the holi­

days and raises funds for the school arts with a dazzling

dessert cabaret. Serious choral singers have first-rate

chorales to choose from. Poets read at the Left Bank Cafe

on Sunday afternoons throughout the winter; at night folk

and jazz concerts and chamber theater fill the house. His­

toric film is cherished in Bucksport; art films run year-round

at the Grand in Ellsworth and the Reel Pizza Cinerama in Bar

Harbor. W riters’ groups meet on Deer Isle, in Ellsworth, and

on the Gouldsboro Peninsula. Bird carvers congregate at the

Gilley Museum. The Bagaduce Music Lending Library as a

source for sheet music is unmatched anywhere. At the Abbe

Museum Native American artists teach their ancient and ele­

gant crafts. And this is only a sample of the diverse arts com­

munities that make up the larger community of Hancock

County. We have not searched out all the traditional artists

- the boat builders, the needlework artists; we know that the

musicians who contribute to the varied musical life of the

county are underrepresented - the casts and orchestras of

the Grand productions, the directors and singers and organ­

ists of the churches, the members of the magnificant choral

groups.

We hope that this directory will contribute to the

flourishing of the Hancock County arts community and com­

munities. It is certainly going to have errors and omissions,

for which we apologize. Corrections and additions for future

editions should be sent to the publisher:Community Arts Program Maine Arts Commission 55 Capitol Street Augusta, ME 04333-0025

THE POEMS in this directory represent both the native writer - Gotts Islander, novelist and poet Ruth Moore - and the summer resident whose poetry reflects his deep attachment to Hancock County - Samuel French Morse. For more poems by Ruth Moore, see her Cold as a Dog and the Wind Northeast (Cam­den, Maine: Gorden Bok, 1958/1973) and The Tired Apple Tree (Nobleboro, Maine: Blackberry Books, 1990). “The Offshore Islands” is from The Tired Apple Tree. For more by Samuel French Morse, see Collected Poems (Orono, Maine: National Poetry Foundation, 1995), where “A Kind of View” and “The Whiitethroat in July” appear.

A Kind ofViewI look one way from the porch, as far

As the summer light and the crowding trees-

As much as a couple of hundred yards-

Allow the eye; though for all it sees

One way, straight forward, it misses much.

But the eye can wander, unconfined,

And frame a view to satisfy

The longer sightings of the mind.

Beyond the darkness of the trees

The sunlight falling free suggests

A landlocked bay. The eye perceives

The light, at least, and there it rests

Until, distracted, I can look

Away. The air moves every leaf.

The branches bend. The landscape stirs.

Imagination, like belief,

Transforms the world. I look again

Down past the shadow. I can see

The bay and all the land beyond.

And I am where I ought to be.

THE O FFSHO RE ISLANDS

The offshore islands belong to themselves.

They stand in their own sea.

They do not inherit; they leave no heirs.

They are no man’s legacy.

Blazing volcanoes, cooled and dead,

Marked nowhere a boundary line.

The rise and fall of oceans left

Not one no trespassing sign.

The money was never minted,

The clutch of its greed so strong

It could honor a deed: TO HAVE A N D TO HOLD,

And keep these wild lands long.

The first summer people were Indians.

For some five thousand years

They built up shore-line shell heaps before

They lost to the pioneers.

The white man took what he wanted.

He had privilege, laws, and guns.

He made fast his own boundary lines

And his property went to his sons.

From the west they sailed in Chebacco boats,

And the high-sterned pinkys, Essex-made.

In harbors where water was deep enough,

Their schooners carried a coast-wise trade.

The homesteads they made were sturdy,

But those who built near the shores

Had to dig, if they didn’t want Indian shells

All over their cellar floors.

Then time slipped by, as inheritance does.

They felt the mainland’s pull.

They abandoned their homes to rot away,

And their cemeteries full.

Theirs was the time of history

And written records show

That their hold on the offshore islands began

Less than four hundred years ago.

Now comes the era of real estate,

Of the hundred thousand dollar lots,

Of the condominiums, side by side,

Along the shoreline choicest spots.

What follows the time of developers

No human voice can tell.

But the silent offshore islands know,

And they handle their mysteries well.

They speak with a voice that is all their own,

And this is what they say:

That they talk in terms of a billion years

That their now is not today.

And the ghosts they brought along with them

Have never gone away.

RUTH MOORE

HANCOCK COUNTY: A CULTURAL DIRECTORY

This Directory was compiled at the request of artists and arts organizations in Hancock County, Maine, for a handbook that would list the county’s cultural organiza­

tions and artists, together with facilities and ser­

vices they need. Thus it may serve the ceramicist seeking other potters to form a raku group, the painter

in search of audiences and display areas, the educator planning

for visiting artists in the schools, the dancer in charge of pub­

licity for a recital, the person setting up a tour of galleries, the

reader seeking the address of a favorite poet, the librarian

wanting to schedule a poetry reading, or the individual hop­

ing to commission a work of art.

This directory lists any artist or organization wishing to

be included. It is non-commercial, for distribution primarily to

the artists and arts organizations, as well as county schools,

libraries, and municipal organizations.There is no charge to be

included and no charge for the directory.

This directory is drawn from a more inclusive data

base, compatible with databases at the Maine Arts Commis­

sion and the National Endowment for the Arts. The aim is a

living record, easily corrected and updated, from which future

editions may be drawn. We hope that the database and the

directory may provide useful models for other areas which

may want to record and publicize their cultural life.

THE ORIGINTHE MAINE ARTS COMMISSION, after a series of state-wide

public meetings and much creative brainstorming, completely

reinvented itself in 1993. The aim was to increase service to

the arts in a period of anticipated financial drought. Among

the results were pioneer initiatives in Community Arts and

Arts in Education. The Community Arts Committee con­

ceived its mission “as initiator and facilitator to provide meth­

ods and models for arts communities throughout the state

and - perhaps - the nation to enable these communities to

find and develop their own cultural expression.”

Before we could “initiate and facilitate” we needed to

know more about the far-flung and widely different arts com­

munities in Maine. We selected four as diverse as possible and

undertook in each a cultural assessment. These are Lewis-

ton/Auburn, Rangeley, Presque Isle and environs, and - ambi­

tiously - the whole of Hancock County. In this county we

engaged three experts to assess the existing state of the arts:

Tina Bucuvalas for traditional arts, Tom Carroll for maritime

cultural resources, and Carol Gardien Trimble for arts in the

public schools. Their extensive reports are available at the

Maine Arts Commission in Augusta and at major libraries in

the county.

INTRODUCTION 5

The principles of the Community Arts discovery research were:

1. to keep the emphasis on the artist

in the community;

2. to balance concern for the quality of the arts with

the needs and traditions of the community;

3. to respect those needs and traditions - not impos­

ing our standards and values;

4. to involve members of the community at all stages;

5. to do everything possible to facilitate all local initia­

tives with models, administrative assistance, education, and

information, so that

they continue healthy

and productive on

their own.

In H a n co ck

County we held a

town meeting, where

we learned a great

deal about the needs

and desires of the

artists and cultural

organizations. From

this discussion we

identified five areas of

concern and sched­

uled focus-group meetings to which all interested persons

were invited: Arts in Education, Individual Artists, Arts Orga­

nizations, Traditional Arts, and A Sense of Place: Arts in the

Environment. (Notes on all meetings are available at the

MAC office in Augusta.) We then called a town meeting to

share the results of these gatherings and to establish short-

range and long-range priorities. The top short-range priority was this directory.

A subcommittee then went to work to contact

through the media and by phone every artist and arts orga­

nization it could find. Kate Doyle, Mary L. Greene, Kris

Kapenekas, Judy McGeorge, Kathleen Mundell,Tammy Packie,

Anna Marie Saintonge, June Sproule, Marion Stocking, Cyn­

thia Thayer and Becky Thompson did ground work, the basic

computer setup, and telephoning. Kathleen Mundell was the

MAC staff person in charge; Marion Stocking chaired the

Community Arts Committee; Leslie Moore edited this text

and saw it through the press.

WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE COME FROMO N O LD POINT in Lamoine, I stand on beautiful foliated

ledges, worn into fantastic layered peaks and valleys by the

tides of the Mount Desert Narrows. I am standing on

bedrock deposited

about 450 million

years ago, when

most of New Eng­

land was under

water. The softness

and loveliness of this

bedrock express the

pressures and meta­

m o rp h o ses that

underlie H ancock

County’s ancient his­

tory. These are not

Maine’s oldest rocks

(those are 1.5 billion years old), but they are old enough for my imagination, since

they precede the period when present-day Europe and then

Africa collided with North America to form the superconti­

nent Pangaea. Looking across this arm of Frenchman Bay I

see the glacially-scoured granite peaks of the mountains of

Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, formed in the

Devonian time, about 375,000 years ago. They bear witness

to the four (perhaps as many as nine) glacial periods that

have smothered this area in ice during the Quaternary Peri­

od. In our current glacial period, as recorded in the rocks and

the thin soil of Hancock County, 14,000 years ago the entire

coast of Maine, out beyond the islands, was under mile-deep

ice. Water from the melting ice subsequently drowned the

In the earlier part of the century, Hancock County had a flourishing economy in fishing, lumbering, granite, shipbuilding and ice cutting. Four masted schooner Nancy Hanks shown at the Settlement Quarry wharf in Deer Isle, circa 1925. Photo courtesy Deer Isle Stonington Historical Society.

present coastline, but 13,000 years ago the tips of the MDI

mountains were out of the water; another thousand and

Hancock County had emerged, covered with poplar forest, as

the land, freed of the great weight of the ice, rose. For sev­

eral thousand years, the coastline was out beyond the pre­

sent islands, and the vegetation changed to mixed woodland

and then to forest. Only about 3,000 years ago did the shore­

line reach today’s level.

At my back as I stand on Old Point is a deep shelf mid­

den, recording the Ceramic Period people who inhabited the

area two to three thousand years ago. Up-river at Ellsworth

Falls is a Paleo-lndian site left by the first people to move in

as the ice retreated. The Abbe Museum in (though not of)

Acadia National Park protects and honors the culture of the

Native American peoples. Descendants of the Algonkian-

speaking people still teach and market their baskets and

other crafts in the county.In 1524 Verrazzano recorded the location of Mount

Desert Island, and in 1604 Champlain gave it its name. Until

1763, when the Peace of Paris granted control of the area to

Britain, the French colonial influence predominated. By the

early nineteenth century Hancock County was flourishing

with fishing, shipbuilding, lumbering, granite quarrying, and ice

cutting. Ellsworth was the world’s largest lumber port;

Franklin produced more railroad ties than anywhere else in

the country; silver mining made Sullivan and Blue Hill boom

towns; MDI and Deer Isle granite provided mill wheels and

the finest building materials for the nation; in Sedgwick was

the world’s largest natural ice plant.

As these natural resources were exhausted - or lost

their demand as steam replaced sail, and electricity and rein­

forced concrete killed the ice and granite industries - the

ocean and the extraordinary beauty of the landscape began

to attract new sources of wealth In 1844 Thomas Cole, the

founder of the Hudson River School of painting, described

Hancock County so glowingly that artists, educators,

8 HANCOCK COUNTY CULTURAL DIRECTORY

financiers, and professional men and woman flocked to the

area. By the I890’s Bar Harbor had become one of the

nation’s most fashionable resorts, with magnificant summer

“cottages” built for Carnegies, Fords, Rockefellers, Morgans,

Vanderbilts, Biddles, and Astors.

AND NOW...H A N C O C K C O U N T Y TODAY dazzles with its diversity. Of

its 1,629 square miles, nearly 20% is covered with water.

With its 393 scattered islands, it has 1,666 miles of coastline.

Its odd elongated area, roughly echoing the shape of the

State of Maine, essentially encompasses the Union River

watershed. It is hard to imagine a region more diverse. Trav­

eling from west to east, in forty-some miles one moves from

the paper-mill town of Bucksport on the Penobscot River,

through the retail and cultural crossroads of Ellsworth on

the Union River, to the Winter Harbor Naval Base and the

great open ledges of the Schoodic Peninsula on the open

Atlantic to the east. Flying north to south one begins in deep

woods at Sysladobsis Lake, soars over forty miles of lakes

and streams, then forty miles more, over the glamour of Bar

Harbor and the wild glory of Acadia National Park, out to

the whale-road and the fishermen’s islands to the south.

In its inhabitants (48,836 as of 1994) Hancock County

is more homogeneous. The large majority of the residents

trace their ancestry to Ireland and Great Britain, with signif­

icant minorities from France, Italy, and Germany. Only recent­

ly have a few African-Americans and Asians enriched the pop­

ulation. As Tina Bucuvalas puts it in her ethnographic survey prepared for this project:

County citizens often manifest an historically rooted world view which prized self-sufficiency.This philosophy was certainly necessary in past centuries, when Maine was relatively isolated from urban areas in other parts of the country. Although less essential today, it continues to pro­vide a sort of safety net whereby people are not tied to market fluctuations or politics.... Many county residents whose families have been here for generations still mill their own lumber, con­struct their own homes, build and maintain their own boats, hunt, follow other traditional familial occupations, preserve food, and conduct their social lives primarily within the family circle.

Many agricultural arts flourish on about three hundred

farms in the county, from large wild blueberry barrens to

several significant organic farms. Other arts witness the fact

that Hancock County’s land is 85% forest, 43% owned by for­

est products companies. At one extreme is the Champion

Paper Company mill in Bucksport; at the other is the lucra­

tive cottage industry of wreath-making. Ellsworth, the “shire-

town” and the county’s largest community, has a population

of about 6,000. Frenchboro, the smallest, had at last count 44.

Hancock County’s institutions of higher education

include the Maine Maritime Academy in Castine; the College

of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, a four year liberal arts college

offering degrees in Human Ecology; and the Ellsworth Cen­

ter of the University of Maine System. Many of the towns

also have extensive adult education programs.

Since Hancock County boasts about a third of the

state’s total coastline, including twelve of Maine’s fifty estuar­

ies with their productive tidal flats, marine arts are a signifi­

cant element of the economy.The county pulls in about 30%

of the state’s $ 100 million lobster haul, along with a signifi­

cant harvest of fin fish, shrimp, scallops, eels, sea urchins,

clams, mussels, and bait worms. Boatbuilding remains a major

traditional occupation, with about 32 boatbuilding establish­

ments. Maine Maritime Academy provides higher education in

nautical sciences and marine engineering.

Many other traditional arts flourish, domestic and dec­

orative, for home use and for commercial sales: textile arts

such as quilting, knitting, rugmaking, spinning and weaving;

woodworking, such as decoy carving, furniture and toy mak­

ing; dances; storytelling; regional cooking and community

meals, from hunters’ breakfasts to grange suppers; holiday

decorations and traditions; and many more.

Since Thomas Cole first discovered the attraction of

Mount Desert Island, artists have flocked to the county. We

see Castine Harbor through the eye of Fitz Hugh Lane, Deer

Isle as John Marin viewed it, Marsden Hartley’s Corea, Fred­

erick Church’s MDI. Pierre Monteux founded his still-flour­

ishing school for conductors in Hancock; Blue Hill and Mount

Desert continue to attract musicians of the highest distinc­

tion. Hancock County has nourished writers as various as E.

B. White, Buckminster Fuller, Ruth Moore, Marguerite Your-

cenar, Helen and Scott Nearing, and Robert Lowell.

Today Maine’s artists, many with global reputations, live

quietly in communities that honor them by respecting their

privacy. Hancock County is itself an arts community, but

within it is a great diversity of smaller communities, from the

Wednesday Spinners to the internationally honored Gilbert

and Sullivan Society. The Downeast Chapter of the Union of

Maine Visual Artists is vigorous. The Surry Opera Company

performs regularly in Russia and Japan as well as Surry (pop.

1,004).The Lamoine Patrons of the Arts celebrates the holi­

days and raises funds for the school arts with a dazzling

dessert cabaret. Serious choral singers have first-rate

chorales to choose from. Poets read at the Left Bank Cafe

on Sunday afternoons throughout the winter; at night folk

and jazz concerts and chamber theater fill the house. His­

toric film is cherished in Bucksport; art films run year-round

at the Grand in Ellsworth and the Reel Pizza Cinerama in Bar

Harbor. W riters’ groups meet on Deer Isle, in Ellsworth, and

on the Gouldsboro Peninsula. Bird carvers congregate at the

Gilley Museum. The Bagaduce Music Lending Library as a

source for sheet music is unmatched anywhere. At the Abbe

Museum Native American artists teach their ancient and ele­

gant crafts. And this is only a sample of the diverse arts com­

munities that make up the larger community of Hancock

County. We have not searched out all the traditional artists

- the boat builders, the needlework artists; we know that the

musicians who contribute to the varied musical life of the

county are underrepresented - the casts and orchestras of

the Grand productions, the directors and singers and organ­

ists of the churches, the members of the magnificant choral groups.

We hope that this directory will contribute to the

flourishing of the Hancock County arts community and com­

munities. It is certainly going to have errors and omissions,

for which we apologize. Corrections and additions for future

editions should be sent to the publisher:Community Arts Program Maine Arts Commission 55 Capitol Street Augusta, ME 04333-0025

The Whitethroat in July

Over, over and over, clear

And unmistakable as when

We thought we heard it first, we hear

The whitethroat call, and call again:

Two notes, then three, intent and sweet,

Then three notes after, after, till

Across the meadow they repeat

As faintly as an echo will,

The sequences. We listen now

So idly to the sound by day

We scarcely notice when or how

It varies, though sometimes we say

When silence overtakes the mind

O r barely stirs the summer air,

“How still it is!” Then, unconfined

As song may be, the notes are there.

THE MAINE ARTS COMMISSION

From its establishment in 1964, the Maine Arts Commissionoe (MAC) has

worked to provide the people of Maine with the best possible information about the artists living and working in the state and to support Maine artists in develop­ing their abilities and communicating with one another. According to its enabling legislation, the MAC exists to ’’encourage and stimulate public interest and participation in the cultural heritage and programs of our state,” to ’’expand the state’s cultural resources,” as well as to “encourage and assist freedom of artistic expression essential for the well­being of the arts, to meet the legitimate needs and aspirations of persons in all

parts of the state.”In an era of dwindling financial sup­

port, the MAC has redirected its empha­sis from administering grants programs to developing services in Arts in Educa­tion, Information and Advocacy, and Community Arts (of which this directo­

ry is a product).Information about the full range of

MAC programs for artists, with applica­tion forms, is available from the Com­mission. Request the most recent Artist Roster and Resource Guide.

This guide contains information on the Arts in Education program, to make learning in and through the arts “a common practice for every student in every school” throughout the State and to help “develop schools as resources to promote creativity throughout commu­

nities.” It also includes practical sections

on planning artists’ visits as well as on

publicity and advocacy.To reward artistic excellence, the

MAC has programs of direct grants to artists. Individual Artist Fellowships are awarded on a two-year cycle in design arts, media arts, performing arts, traditional arts, visual arts, and literature. A maximum of eight fellowships of $3,000. each are awarded annually. Tra­ditional Arts Apprenticeships (par­tially funded through the National Endowment for the Arts’ Folk Arts Pro­gram) enable recognized master tradi­tional artists to pass on their skills to qualified apprentices.

The “A rt is t R oster” provides detailed information about artists avail­able to present performances, readings, workshops, exhibits or lecture-demon­strations. All listed artists have passed rigorous auditions before being included.

The “A rtist Registry” provides contact information for artists who are available to sell their art or who will create work on a commission basis. All those listed have passed a rigorous jury process. The list includes Public Art (ceramics, design, fiber, furniture, glass, media, painting, paper, photography, and sculpture) and Studio Art (ceramics, fiber, furniture, glass, graphics, painting, paper, photography, and sculpture). Needless to say, there are many distin­guished artists in the state beyond those in the Roster and Registry.

The MAC also has some funding for

Statewide Leadership Initiatives, Technical Assistance, and C o m ­munity A rts Development (including Cultural Assessment and Planning - Dis­

covery Research and Local Cultural Ini­tiatives). For a description of these pro­grams, including application forms, request the most recent Program Guidelines.

In addition, the MAC has a newslet­ter, brochures on Arts in Education, a guide to the Percent for Art Program, a booklet illustrating the work of recent Individual Artist Fellows, and Sensing Place: A Guide to Community Culture, by Kathleen Mundell and Hilary Anne Frost-Kumpf (1995), a richly illustrated handbook of exercises in discovery research and community organizing, to assist in the recognition and develop­ment of a community’s artistic re­sources. Any of these publications is available without charge on request from:
