where creativity and community meet
We Are the Watershed
A new collaboration undertaken by the Literary Arts program in 2025 and 2026 is We Are the Watershed. We are joining with numerous nonprofit organizations in both the United States and Canada, including Native and First Nation groups, that are dedicated to preserving and venerating the Passamaquoddy Bay watershed. Our joint aim is to raise awareness about revitalizing this important ecosystem.

The Literary Arts Program is part of a project that will be soliciting poetry, narratives, and visual art that speaks of our connections to Passamaquoddy Bay and its tributaries. School children in the US and Canada will be invited to submit their work, which will be published in a chapbook released during a celebration in May.
