MISSION STATEMENT
Hogfish is a regenerative arts and artist training company at the historic Beckett Castle, surrounded by a world-class rose garden on the coast of Maine. We are building an artistic sanctuary and body of work dedicated to restoring creative and physical health to individuals, our communities, and our earth.
On the last Saturday of June, we kick off the season with Kegs & Roses, our annual fundraiser concert featuring the artists-in-residence in concert at the rose garden of historic Beckett Castle on the coast of Maine. It is the once a year chance for the public to see the spiritual home of our artist residency
While in residence, artists rehearse and perform a flagship large scale multi-disciplinary production at the end of July. Hogfish seeks to broaden the canon of the performing arts by adapting classics that will resonate today and by creating new work that represents the voices of all.
In addition, during the residency each artist receives time, space, and support to develop their own emergent work. Artists are asked to work on projects that are regenerative to themselves, their communities, and their neighborhoods. Presentations of these regenerative works in progress are presented on our “Farm to Stage” series in venues around Southern Maine.
Select projects and artists are invited back to be produced as full productions during a smaller “winter garden” residency in January as well as for future summer seasons.
