Cannon Rock Sessions is a biennial program inspired by Winslow Homer’s work, his Studio at Prouts Neck, and by Maine’s landscape and coastline. The 2013 Cannon Rock Sessions focuses on the theme “weather,” a topic that had direct influence on Winslow Homer, but also affects each of us every day. Cannon Rock Sessions brought together two “visiting minds,” to discuss the topic during a five-day residency at the Black Point Inn. To fuel the conversation PMA orchestrated three sessions in three days. Each session was led by a different convener and invited a diverse group of community members to the discussion. Cannon Rock Sessions is meant to ignite further conversation among the participants and to enrich thinking around the topic. This evening’s Summer Dialogue invites the public to contribute to this ongoing discussion of weather. Sara Corbett Sara is a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine and other notable publications. In 2004 she co-founded The Telling Room in Portland, Maine with writers Mike Paterniti and Susan Conley. Sara is also the author of Venus to the Hoop: A Gold-Medal Year in Women’s Basketball. Her feature stories have covered topics like child trafficking in Cambodia, the resettlement of Sudanese orphans in the U.S., and the psychological struggle of soldiers wounded in Iraq.
