Creating the Maine Sculpture Trail

Book excerpt: The Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium brought together artists and communities to create the extensive hard stone sculpture collection now in place throughout Downeast Maine. Thirty-four unique works of public art created over the course of this project, now form the Maine Sculpture Trail, gracing rural, urban and seaside landscapes in towns and cities across three counties. Over its ten-year mission, the project created one of the farthest-reaching outdoor public granite sculpture collections in the world. This book forms a collection of stories about the diverse group of people who made it possible, composed in an effort to preserve the legacy of the creation of this great trail.
