How SEA got started:
Colleen Bedard, glass bead artist & printmaker, & Dennis Sheehy, maker of gnome homes, planned an informal meeting at Dennis’ home in the Winter of 2005 to talk about starting an arts organization on the East End. A handful of Munjoy Hill artists attended & ideas were exchanged about what artists wanted & needed from a neighborhood Arts organization. With the efforts of founding members, Colleen Bedard, Dennis Sheehy, Elizabeth Fraser, Mike Libby & Abby Sadauckas, & the input of many East End artists, the Society for East End Arts was underway. Meetings continued throughout the winter and spring of 2005 and SEA began to define its mission and build a membership base. June of 2005 marked SEA’s first event, the East End Artists Open Studios Tour.
