Join us to expand your artistic practice using scratchboard, an accessible medium that brings your work to life while raising awareness about Maine’s endangered species. Dive into research on the unique and at-risk wildlife around you—perhaps the tiny Margined Tiger Beetle, the majestic Leatherback Turtle, the vibrant Harlequin Duck, or the powerful Peregrine Falcon, all listed rarities in Acadia National Park. You might even find inspiration from fish, plants, and coastal species that are close to home. Bring a few reference images to start; we will use the Fab Lab to transfer them onto a 5” x 5” professional-grade scratchboard. As we carve, we will spark conversation around Maine’s conservation efforts and the role of art in preserving our natural world.
