14918Painting Islands - Uniting Community with Art
  • Set
  • Places, Island
This personal art project of Howie Motenko used participatory art and the photographic technique of light painting on all the 15 year-round Maine Islands. His idea was to assemble a team of resident island volunteers who, wielding flashlights, would “paint” an iconic scene with light while he created a long-exposure photograph. Howie partnered with the Maine Seacoast Mission and the Island Institute as a conduit to begin a dialogue with each local island community and travel support to each of the islands during the shoot. The project kicked off in May of 2014. The project is funded in part by the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

  • Cranberry Isles, Sutton Island
The earliest settlers on Sutton's Island were Joseph Lancaster of Sullivan and Isaac Richardson, son of James Richardson of Mount Desert. William and Joseph Moore were early settlers, also. William later moved to Bear Island and was the first keeper of the Bear Island light. Sutton, from whom the island now takes its name, was, perhaps, a squatter. It is thought that he removed to the Maritime Provinces. - “Mount Desert, A History” by George E. Street, Edited by Samuel A. Eliot, Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1905.
