Wellfleet Municipal Pier

Marine Wildlife Ambassador Training with NECWA’s Krill Carson

Join fellow marine wildlife enthusiasts for free training on the various species that become trapped in Wellfleet Harbor and the actions that you can take, and pass along to family and friends, to help them.

Part I: Wednesday, September 13th 10:00 a.m.

Adult Community Center 715 Old Kings Hwy, Wellfleet

Part II: Wednesday, September 20th, 10:00 a.m., Wellfleet Municipal Pier

More Info:

The New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA) will host a free two-part program focused on training community members as Marine Wildlife Ambassadors. Interested members of the community will learn about the marine wildlife that often becomes trapped in Wellfleet Harbor and how their actions can support a variety of rescue efforts.

Part I is the indoor portion of the program scheduled for Wednesday, September 13, 10:00 a.m. at the Wellfleet Adult Community Center, 715 Old Kings Highway. Marine wildlife strandings specific to Wellfleet Harbor will be discussed and participants will hear about the different organizations, both government and non-government, that rescue and study specific marine animals. A PowerPoint presentation will be provided, and participants can pick up free training materials as well as view marine artifacts from whales, seals, and fish.

Part II is the outdoor portion of the program scheduled for Wednesday, September 20, 10:00 a.m. at the Wellfleet Harbor Pier. As participants walk around the pier, they will be able to visualize the biological conditions, as well as the environmental and geological factors, that often lead to strandings, including prey abundance, wind conditions, currents, tidal cycles, and bathymetry.

Carol “Krill” Carson, President, and founder of NECWA, is a marine biologist and educator who has worked in the New England area since 1980. Krill, other NECWA staff members and interns, will assist participants, helping them gain the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to transform their typical nature walks into potentially life-saving opportunities for Wellfleet’s struggling marine wildlife. “We are currently entering the most prevalent time of year for strandings of a range of sea animals,” states Krill, “so this training is particularly timely, and we hope will be impactful for many that would otherwise face their demise.” While the program is specific to Wellfleet and geared toward adult residents and visitors who can use their new skills year-round, all are welcome to join and encouraged to share their knowledge with family and friends.

This program is supported by the Wellfleet Cultural Council, Mass Cultural Council, the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA), and the Wellfleet Adult Community Center.

FARM PROJECTS

Nathalie Ferrier - Mapping The Magic

Exhibit: September 1 - 14

Artist Talk with Nathalie Ferrier and Independent writer Sophie Mann-Shafir:

Sunday, September 10, 12 pm

Farm Projects, 335 Main St.

“Holding a piece of coral is like holding a relic, and looking at it closely is like taking another step back on Planet Earth. I was drawn to the contrast between its endurance and its fragility, and to the idea of how a piece of coral connects us-through thousands of years, even a hundred thousand years-to things that existed before its reef was first formed. Something similar is revealed when looking at a plant through a microscope and seeing its structure: running through time, through places, through living things, there is commonality.”

“The new paintings I have done, with many concentric colors, are about emotions-and yes, there’s a kind of psychic mapping. When we are children, we all understand about the self, and I guess these paintings are really about exploring that idea, about following a path back to that. When I was three, I remember thinking of myself-my soul and my body-and somehow recognizing some essential core, one I thought I could project in the future. I think it’s probably that same feeling of self and of longing every living creature has, and that all art connects to.”

Extracts from an interview with writer Katherine Hazzard for the PROVINCETOWN ARTS magazine 2023/24.

Meditative Drawings:
These drawings were inspired by coral fragments found on a Miami beach.  
Once tiny marine invertebrates, luminous bones, porous and monumental, landscapes with precise borders, these timeless corals harbor striking maps of the interior that make visible the simultaneity of the past and present.    

Pasage Series:
These paintings are about mapping emotions about the self and retracing the psychic path we first experience as children, they aim to map our essential core.


About the artist.
Multimedia artist Nathalie Ferrier was born in France and has lived year-round in Truro, Cape Cod since 1999. Recently she started to spend time in Miami in between academic semesters. Miami’s tropical light, plants, architecture, its people and vibes have inspired her to create new works.
 
Ferrier studied at the Ecole de Haute Couture in Paris and worked for ten years as a fashion designer for Haute Couture. She also created a toy company (Born to be Wild) and designed a line of stuffed animals and wooden toys sold at museum stores throughout the United States.

In 2007, Ferrier received an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Currently, Ferrier is the Higgins Art Gallery Director and Curator and teaches fiber arts at the Cape Cod Community College.

FARM PROJECTS

Farm Projects is pleased to present PROJECT/PROJECT. This pop-up event features five site-specific projections by Cape Cod artists that will transform twilight for 90 minutes on Friday, August 11th. Participating artists include Janice Redman and Elizabeth Bradfield, Megan Hinton, Elizabeth Giamatti, Traci Harmon-Hay and Bella Hay, and Cole Brash. Megan Hinton’s projection will offer an expansion of the work on view in her current exhibition on view at Farm Projects. All participating artists are encouraged to experiment and improvise to find innovative ways to deepen the ideas and themes central to their individual practices by engaging with local landscapes and architectural features.

Projections will be sited across Wellfleet, including at Farm Projects and Such a Much (355 Main Street), When Studio (The Mooney Building, 95 Commercial Street), and the Wellfleet Pier (255 Commercial Street). Starting at sundown (7:45pm), visitors are invited to walk, bike, or cruise the 0.9 mile stretch between the sites. Maps are available at Farm Projects and a reception will be hosted there as well.

“This inaugural happening has the potential to grow into a recurring event that will help solidify Wellfleet as a home for experimental contemporary art on Cape Cod,” said organizer Susie Nielsen. “Site-specific projections have this magical ability to transform familiar places and help people to see things in a new way. My hope is that this will grow to become an event artists and residents in the area will look forward to as an opportunity to shift their thinking and engagement with this special place.”
