Locavore harvest

Another Art Walk venue we hope to hit tonight is the Meg Perry Center where "Farmworkers Feed Us All" is opening. The show by photojournalist Earl Dotter and audio-producer Tennessee Williams was up at the Augusta State House at the end of February. It offers a peek into the lives and working conditions of migrant workers during the 2007 harvest in Maine.

Blood for oil?

We'll ditch the car and head out on the First Friday Art Walk tomorrow night. Rain, snow or shine. (That's the beauty of living downtown.) One show on my must-see list is "Oil,"on view at 3 Fish Gallery. It's a group exhibition with a wide-range of work exploring the human relationship with petroleum. Good, bad and disturbing. (See above.) If you can't catch it on Friday, check it out on Saturday, during the official opening reception, from 5-9 pm.
