Save the Date: Art in the Stacks, July 20 – August 3, 2025

Camden on Canvas will look a little different this year: instead of a live auction ending a weekend of plein air painting, we’re trying out a silent auction format. The event name is Art in the Stacks and the bidding will take place online from July 20th – August 3rd while the artwork is displayed in the library; there will be a reception to celebrate our library and the arts on Sunday, August 3rd.

The pool of about 30 well-known local artists will encompass more styles than just plein air paintings, and we’re showcasing smaller pieces of art (great for those with less wall space!), and hoping to capture folks (like Camden visitors!) wherever they are, either in town or from afar.

On Exhibit: 4th Annual Accordion Book Show

The library’s own Amy Hand has organized the 4th Annual Accordion Book Art Show, on exhibit in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of May*. A variety of handmade accordion books are on display along the walls and in the glass case, with multiple contributing artists from across the state and country!

Come see the wonderful array of accordion books, from large to tiny, eye-catching to minimal, and created with a variety of techniques, materials, and themes.

*The Picker Room hosts meetings and library events and is not always open for viewing. Please call ahead or check our website calendar to see what’s happening daily.
