The Institute for Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art has been transformed this week into FOREST, a series of hands-on programs and activities designed to engage students and the public in unconventional ways.

One of Tuesday’s activities was the building of fairy houses, small natural habitats that any fairy might be happy to call home. Activities today include a screen-printing event and a permaculture class. For a list of the week’s activities and events, go online to meca.edu
