The Pepperell Mill Campus in Biddeford has a distinguished history which includes historical use as a textile mill and current use as commercial space for artists and businesses. Its ongoing revitalization is central to the development of the surrounding downtown community and has lead to an influx of new creative energy to the area. The collaborative of artists working to present this event seek to explore the reciprocal relationships between the mill, the river, and the city that developed around it. By utilizing part of the Riverwalk pathway, patrons will be able to explore artwork that is inspired by the past, present and future of the mill, the natural elements of the nearby river and ocean, as well as the activities of the people in the mill and surrounding urban areas.​

Installations will begin in September, with an opening event on Friday, September 15th from 5:00-9:00pm during Biddeford’s RiverJam Fest. Installed works will be on display from September 15th - September 30th and accessible to the public, Monday-Saturday 12:00-4:00pm. A closing event will coincide with the Biddeford/Saco Art walk on Friday September 29th from 5:00-9:00pm.
​
The event will feature work by Alex Mead, Jarid del Deo, Julie K. Gray, Marques Bostic, Michael Evans, Christy Matson, Lucky Bistoury and Ann Thompson, along with organizer Sarah Baldwin. Artists will be present at the opening event, and an event map will be available to guide patrons to explore the installations and to become familiar with the mill campus and area businesses.
