This Portland historian’s focus is on Irish Americans in Maine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Matthew Barker first became interested in Irish history when he was only 8 years old. “My mother said, you know, be proud of your Irish heritage,” said Barker, who has now been studying Irish American history for over 40 years.

This Passamaquoddy artist is designing a statue for Portland’s new park (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When award-winning Passamaquoddy artist Gabriel Frey heard about the open call for artwork at Portland’s new waterfront park, he already had an idea. Frey, who was in the process of doing studies for a statue, realized that his vision for the piece fit the Public Art Committee’s specifications exactly. “When another Wabanaki artist said, ‘hey, you should apply for this,’ I looked it up, and the artistic prompts were everything to do with this piece, which was how do we tie past, present and futu

And that hasn’t happened as m
This Maine artist is bringing Morse code to the Old Port (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PORTLAND – Though artist Josh Brill has lived in the Old Port for about 17 years, his first public art installation in Portland will be appearing this summer. Unlike traditional public art like a sculpture or mural painted on a building, Brill’s piece will include art spread across the vertical surfaces of two stairways, guiding pedestrians through the Old Port using Morse code. Brill said that working on an art piece in the area was both meaningful and convenient. “This is so close to my house,
