Christopher Newton grew up in Vermont but has settled in Maine and we are lucky to have him because he is a street photographer, who reveals the unseen truths of our state.
Our lovely Maine weather is returning, and that means Picnic Season! We found a great FREE place for you to have a special downtown Portland hangout. It's the David E Shaw and Family Sculpture Park at the distinguished Portland Museum of Art. You can gain entrance on High Street, around the corner from the museum's main entrance. How cool would it be to meet up with your friends amongst some of the most beautiful public art in Maine?

This fantastic public health art initiative is the brainchild of the fine folks at Creative Portland, the official arts agency for the City of Portland
