Description
The Cultural Connections in the Park series occurs on select Wednesdays from June through September.
Gabriel Frey, Passamaquoddy, comes from a long line of fancy and utility basketmakers. He uses his family's traditional knowledge and style to create beautifully woven, sturdily built utility baskets that can be used for a variety of purposes. Join Gabriel as he demonstrates the labor-intensive process of preparing ash and see firsthand how his beautiful and functional art is created.
All Cultural Connections programs are sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, are offered in partnership between Acadia National and the Abbe Museum, and are free and open to the public.
