Dinner at the Beach celebrates stewardship of Bishop’s Beach stewardship. Starting in 2013 with support from ArtPlace America, Bunnell initiated a series of installations and interventions in the public space to celebrate and strengthen the physical, social and economic fabric of Homer through the arts. Projects include Poetry on the Trail by Wendy Erd (2013) installed in collaboration with Islands and Ocean, the welcome sign to Bishop’s Beach Park by Lost Things Designs (2013), and Loon at Bishop’s Beach Park, a sculpture by Rachelle Dowdy(2014). New this year, we will present a big mural by Marjorie Scholl featuring children exploring the beach appropriately. The mural will go on the gazebo at Bishop’s Beach Park. Funds from Dinner in the Street, a collaboration of neighborhood restaurants and businesses, support this work of stewardship and strengthening Homer through collaborative efforts.
Join us on June 18, Father’s Day for Dinner at the Beach by at Bishops Beach Park amidst several installations Bunnell has commissioned to celebrate and protect this beloved resource. Dinner generously provided by Fat Olives, Maura Brenin, Two Sisters and Wildhoney Bistro with beverages from Schnooer Nolan Wines and Grace Ridge Brewery.
