The Cultural Connections in the Park series occurs on select Wednesdays from June through September.

Sarah Sockbeson is one of several basketmakers who take Wabanaki traditions to a new level with their contemporary styles. A citizen of the Penobscot Indian Nation, Sarah apprenticed with basketmaker Jennifer Neptune and combines contemporary elements such as painting and bone carving into her work. Known for her vivid color combinations and beautiful landscape paintings, Sarah will demonstrate the various steps within her artistic process.

All of these programs are sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, are offered in partnership with the Acadia National Park, and are free and open to the public.
