don’t be late :: the shallow tide starts at 7:15pm

The commissioned artist team of Cheryl E. Leonard and Rebecca Haseltine will lead off the Corridor on May 30 with The Shallow Tide, a music and sculpture performance in the coves of Middle Harbor Shoreline Park.

It’s just not to be missed.

Many stories about sinking up to the knees while walking at low tide. It will take another couple years for the surface (created from dredging of Inner Harbor) to settle.
