Eastport Arts Center’s Washington Street Gallery will present People and Place: 40 Years of Quoddy Tides Photographs by Edward French, from July 1 to September 2. The exhibition is viewable during EAC events, or by chance or appointment; please email wsg@eastportartscenter.org to inquire about viewing the show.
The images in the exhibition were taken for the community newspaper, and range from news photos of celebrations like the Eastport Fourth of July and Passamaquoddy Days, to people at work making wreaths, harvesting cranberries and fishing, to portraits of the people who live in the Quoddy region. “These are not the tourist postcard photos of lighthouses, whales and sunsets but rather try to capture the essence of a person and a place and what life is like on this edge between land and sea,” notes French.
Edward French is the editor and publisher of The Quoddy Tides, a newspaper that covers eastern Washington County and the Fundy Isles of New Brunswick. He has been taking photos for the paper since he was in high school.
Washington Street Gallery is on the first floor of Eastport Arts Center, at 36 Washington Street, Eastport, and is handicapped-accessible. EAC abides by State of Maine CDC COVID guidelines, revisiting our policy monthly. At this time, the use of masks in our building is optional.
