“Rattle The Cage”, a FREE performance event by Steel House residents and artists/activists The Forty Hour Club. The event will take place on Sunday, August 16th at 3pm at the group’s environmental art installation “A Hole For One!—currently on display at The Steel House Amphitheater.
The large-scale installation, companion gallery exhibit, and event—supported in part by The Maine Arts Commission—confronts the unnatural forces of ego and greed and stands as a uniquely American celebration of diversity and inclusion, as well as an historic indictment of the destructive myth of the “Great Man”.
“Rattle The Cage” will feature an introduction by Bob Keyes, Chair of The Maine Arts Commission, a short performance, poetry, and more meant to encourage meaningful dialog, challenge authoritarianism, defend democracy, and celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the power of “The People”.
The art installation and gallery exhibit are open to the public through September 30th. Gallery hours are daily 10am-5pm. The outdoor installation is accessible 24/7.
