Storytelling Night: Cookie Davis

Cookie Davis, a beloved local artist and laborer, is featured in the Brick Store Museum’s current exhibition, “Bold Visions: The Folk Art of Collyer Bowen and Cookie Davis.” Born Colman Davis before her transition to Dominique London in later life – nicknamed “Cookie” by friends and neighbors – she was well-known in the Kennebunks, and particularly Cape Porpoise.

Because so many in the community knew her, the Brick Store Museum is hosting a Community Story Sharing Night, welcoming participants to come and share stories and memories of Cookie to be forever held in the Museum’s archives. This free event will actively collect oral histories as told by participants, who will discuss these stories in an informal group setting in the Museum’s gallery, facilitated by Sean Driscoll of BBsquared and Cynthia Walker, the Museum’s director.
