The Community Arts Center is beginning work on its Labyrinth Project at the foot of the Lift Bridge in Hancock. A turtle rock sculpture, earth-construction seating, and natural landscaping are planned for the site; local artists are involved in the project and leading volunteer crews. The public is invited to participate in this project by helping to build the stone sculpture, learning the technique of cob construction, helping with the planting and garden maintenance or donating regional and/or drought-tolerant perennials. No special skills or knowledge are required, and all ages and abilities are welcome.
