Portland Museum of Art Teen Fellows Visit Winslow Homer Studio
Participants in the Homer High School Fellows program at the Portland Museum of Art visited the Winslow Homer Studio in Prout's Neck. The visit, documented in August 2025, included an exploration of the coastal landscape that inspired Homer's work, such as the setting for his painting 'Weather-beaten.' Inside the studio, fellows examined personal artifacts, including hunting trophies, books, and a fire bucket, and experienced an immersive sound installation featuring the artist's dog. The group also met Caroline Wllauer, a descendant of Homer, who provided insights into his life. The program aims to offer engaging educational experiences beyond traditional museum settings.
