Dine amongst sculpture on a four-acre Art farm in North Saco. Experience the sculptural energy of this semi-rural artist live-work haven.
Come take a tour of the Art Farm, then sit down to a multi-course meal prepared by Chef Eva of Spoondrift Kitchen. During the evening you will have an opportunity to listen to resident artist Patrik Pierce talk about his sculptures and more.
CHEF EVA: Eva is the chef and owner of Spoondrift Kitchen, a personal chef service based in Portland, Maine. She uses food as a vessel to create community and ritual in our lives. Her cooking highlights ingredients that are locally sourced and shine in their simplicity.
Eva cooks as a way to tell stories -- inspired by her many travels, ancestors, the farmers who grow the ingredients. Join Eva at the table for a collective experience that nourishes, inspires, and connects.
THE ART FARM: Four acres or a former working farm since 1834 , Patrik and Kathleen transformed it into an art farm. Sculptures are placed amid fields and woods integrating art with nature. Blue birds, red birds, yellow birds, flickers, hawks. It's a rare oasis of serenity in a frenzied world. I settled in North Saco, Maine in 2014, called by the calm energy of a former working farm, where so much productive life has unfolded since 1834.
They have turned the large horse barn into both a gallery and a work space. Horse stalls now display vignettes for sculpture, painting and lighting.
