You are invited to participate in the 5th Annual King Tide Flooding Crawl tonight.  The Crawl runs from 11:15 pm – 12:45 am.  The Crawlers will meet at Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) 350 Commercial Street.  (Parking is free in its parking lot).

The group will then travel to several flood-prone locations around Portland in order to collect floor data and photograph art work contributed by local artists near the flood-waters.

The goal is to use these works to highlight the eerie, yet increasingly common reality of midnight flooding, especially because art has a powerful role in communicating what data alone often can’t according to Evan Paris, of GMRI.
