Harbor Arts & Books 2024

The Camden Public Library is pleased to announce another year of our Annual Fall Harbor Arts and Books Fair on October 5 & 6, 2024! Both fairs take place in Camden’s historic Harbor Park and Amphitheatre, and on the street that passes through the park, at the head of Camden Harbor. Exhibitors display their work in standard 10×10 tents. We welcome you to the salty air and intimate surroundings of our Harbor Park and Amphitheatre during the times of year when the town of Camden is bustling with tourists — all here to enjoy the ocean views and many cultural and artistic events in the area.

Information for the FALL show can be found here. Application deadline is September 1.

Camden on Canvas 2024 a Success!

Locals and visitors gathered in the sunny Camden Amphitheatre on Sunday, July 21, for an exciting live auction of paintings that had been freshly created that weekend during the fourth annual “Camden on Canvas.” The proceeds of the auction were split between the artists and the Camden Public Library. The library is pleased to announce that Camden on Canvas raised more than $35,000 for the library’s Campaign for the Future, which will go toward strengthening the library’s long-term ability to create young readers, foster lifelong learning, and sustain the historic building and parks.
