On Sunday, September 14th, the Marblehead Festival of Arts announced the donation of a beautiful Benson Seamans sculpture, a harbor seal, to the town. The seal, titled “Winslow II” is a donation from both the Seamans family and the Marblehead Festival of Arts. It will be installed in Crocker Park as part of the MFoA’s 50th Festival Celebration. The dedication ceremony will be next spring. As one article explained,
“‘Winslow II’ will be a contribution to Marblehead’s history, a symbol of celebration and commemoration for the abundance of art within the town, including 50 years of Marblehead Festivals of the Arts and the Seamans’ long history of community commitment.”
