Public Art lecture tonight

The Maine Center for Creativity hosts a lecture at 7 tonight at the South Portland Community Center by Maine College of Art educator Christina Bechstein.

The lecture, "Making it Public: Why Puboic Art Matters," is free and open to the public, and will include slides from public art projects around the world.

Bechstein is assistant professor of sculpture at MECA. Her work focuses on landscapes and how people interact with them. Her public installations have investigated the role of art in place-making and community building.

Phil Harriman, board member of the Maine Center of Creativity will emcee.

The South Portland Community Center is at 21 Nelson Road, near the high school.

Bob Keyes writes about the arts in Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. He's been in the newspaper business more than 20 years, having begun his career in 1985 as a news reporter for the Central Maine Morning Sentinel in Waterville.

The Maine Arts Blog serves as a gathering place for what we hope will be hearty and respectful exchanges about the arts in Maine, and we're interested in blogging about all the arts — the visual arts and performing arts equally.
