During Wiscasset Art Walk on Thursday, August 29, 4-7pm, Salcines will install a cascading arrangement of dried florals in Wiscasset Village. Although much planning will have gone into the presentation, Salcines will be improvising the installation throughout the evening. Visitors are welcome to stop by to watch, ask, and enjoy.

During the September 2022 Wiscasset Art Walk, musicians Chris Lannon and Rick Turcotte were playing their blues and country on the sidewalk when a woman carrying a violin stepped up; Chris recognized her and invited her to join in. Almost two years later, that woman, Nanci Stein, with her Long Branch Boys colleagues, is the featured performer for the Thursday, August 29 WAW, 4-7pm.

The hurdy-hurdy is a very complex instrument. According to Wiscasset’s Laurie Rousseau, a hurdy-gurdy performer, it has components of the violin, guitar, piano, and bagpipe.
