 hoice award\, all other artwork will be available for purchase\, silent au
 ction style\, with proceeds from the commissions and donations used to gro
 w and care for the Wilson Museum’s collection and the event.\nThis year 
 the Collecting Castine event is dedicated to the memory of two artists: th
 e renowned sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald (1917-2004)\, and his wife\, fiber a
 rtist Elizabeth “Liddy” Fitz-Gerald (1927-2016). Clark Fitz-Gerald mov
 ed to Castine in the 1950s after teaching in St. Louis\, Missouri\, and in
  Beloit\, Wisconsin. Having fallen in love with Maine in general\, and Cas
 tine in particular\, he decided to see if he could survive on his art in t
 he place he found inspirational. He became one of Maine’s most successfu
 l sculptors\, a master in wood\, metal\, and stone. Liddy Fitz-Gerald marr
 ied Clark Fitz-Gerald in 1975. An artist in her own right\, she studied ar
 t “before\, during and after college.” While not as commercially well-
 known as her husband\, she was a talented fiber and found-object artist wh
 o practiced her craft for decades. In 2014 her first gallery show opened h
 ighlighting her fiber-art wall hangings. These were mostly abstract and of
 fered a glimpse into how she saw the world around her. Both husband and wi
 fe were active participants in the Castine community. The Wilson Museum is
  very pleased to honor them and their contributions to art.\nCollecting Ca
 stine is a great way to support both the vibrant arts community of Castine
  and the Wilson Museum. For more information\, visit the Wilson Museum’s
