Monday August 3 – Saturday August 15, 2020  

For 15 years, the Bass Harbor Memorial Library has held a week-long, half day Art and Nature Camp for children aged 6-11. In-person camp was not possible this summer, but thanks to a generous grant from the Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund, camp directors Kathie Pratt and Dawn Nuding retooled and adapted a new format, offering the same high quality art instruction, materials, and fun projects, but remotely. 

The library is partnering with Maine Coast Heritage Trust to install an open air art show at Kelley Farm in Bernard.

The show consists of artwork by the children who participated in art camp, placed on signposts.  Letter signs which spell out our theme, will span the road front.  This message invites people to come view the work, but also suggests that anyone, in these often isolating times, can also create in their own way, communicate with their creations, and therefore connect with their community.  

This year’s theme “Create, Communicate, Connect” addresses the shared experience of confusion, loss and isolation the pandemic has created. On the grounds of the preserve, paintings by the children will line the pathways between the community garden plots.  Families can safely enjoy this open air art walk at their leisure, in the natural beauty of the setting.
