Notice about 2020 Annual Meeting

By |2020-08-09T22:45:03-04:00August 9th, 2020|

Dear SPC members, families, and friends,

We can all agree that the past months have been strange and unsettling, different in so many ways  as a result of the continuing danger of the covid virus in our communities. It has seemed particularly strange and sad this summer in Small Point not to have been able to open up the Club to in-person gatherings, events, and meals or to overnight guests. We want to say again how grateful we are to you all for understanding why the Board […]

Last week’s Speaker: Kevin Sudeith, Petroglyphist

By |2020-08-09T22:45:29-04:00August 9th, 2020|


Kevin Sudeith is an artist who specializes in petroglyphs, the ancient art of rock carving. Since 2007, he has carved his way across North America, living out of his van, depicting in stone the lives and stories of the people and places he visits.

Kevin’s current project site is, luckily for us, right here in Phippsburg. His August 6th talk covered his previous projects, detailing the creative process as well as his process for choosing carving subjects. His aim is to incorporate what is on the cusp of […]

Renewal Coming Home – original oil on canvas – 48×48 – $8200

At a distance…

At a distance… we often see more than we otherwise would.
We feel more deeply than we might otherwise feel.
Distance can make you work to truly see, and
It blurs detail but gives you space to insert your own.

Distance can wrap itself warmly around you
or it can make you feel completely and coldly alone.

And magically…
it can make you feel closer… to yourself and […]

Success! Page Terners: Wednesday July 29 @5PM via Zoom

By |2020-08-03T14:01:58-04:00August 2nd, 2020|

The SPC Page Terners Book Club met via Zoom on Wednesday, July 29 to discuss the July reading of Erik Larson’s “The Splendid and the Vile”. This was the Page Terners’ first ever gathering and it was a great success. We had a turnout of fourteen readers – twenty-five had signed up but for various reasons not all were able to attend. Even so, the conversation was insightful and it was fun to rethink the myriad of details that grabbed our attention while reading this fascinating […]

Presentation: Petroglyphist Kevin Sudeith Thursday August 6th @5pm

By |2020-08-03T13:05:30-04:00August 2nd, 2020|

Kevin will tell us about his unusual art projects, especially the one he is currently working on here in Phippsburg. He states: “The goal of my work is twofold: to provide the contemporary community with an artwork with which they identify while addressing a viewer 1000 years in the future in a language they may understand. Petroglyphs, realistic shallow relief carvings, are made to last for over 1000 years. I design petroglyphs around the natural and cultural imagery surrounding me where I am working. Through community […]

UPDATE: Joint SPSS SP Club Fundraiser a SUCCESS!

It was as hot as Hades but people came and they shopped.  Almost $1000 was raised. We are so grateful to those who made purchases. Twenty percent of the proceeds went to two good SP causes: the Small Point Club and the Small Point Summer School. We had representatives from all roads, all ages, and men and women. How great it was to see people enjoying a sense of normalcy – albeit with masks!   Special thanks to […]
