Tremendous momentum has been building for artists that speak to our personal connection with nature and provide thought-provoking commentary on sustainability and personal responsibility. Eco-artists and filmmakers are emerging with powerful messages, and Red Eft has designed the Whaleback festival to unify their voices right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The seacoast has a strong arts commun
ity, and the city is an internationally recognized eco-municipality, making it the perfect home for this emerging genre on the east coast. The festival is named after the iconic lighthouse that marks the entrance to Portsmouth harbor. Like Whaleback Light, our vision is to establish an event that illuminates and draws in stories and imagery that celebrate our environmental culture. Whaleback is timed with Portsmouth’s Sustainability Fair on May 14th, 2011.
