You can find us on the green next to the Train Depot on Main St. Route 22...we will be performing on a sculpture installation called "Porch Pieces" by Bryony Graham, an artist based in Suffolk, UK . Graham found inspiration for Porch Pieces during the US/UK Iron Symposium in 2009, when she discovered the uniquely American social and architectural tradition of the front porch that mixes the realms of the public and private in way that does not occur in the UK.
