Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival
Held on the grounds of the Bar Harbor Inn on the town waterfront. This is our "flagship" show and has established a reputation with both artists and patrons as one of the top shows in northern New-England.
September 11-13
Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival II
Held on the grounds of the Bar Harbor Inn on the town waterfront. This show follows Labor Day weekend while the Bar harbor region is still very busy with tourists and when cruise ships make more frequent port calls in Bar Harbor.
The shows are produced by a show circuit artist like you and for you! Promotion is island-wide and uses cards, posters and tasteful outdoor signage as well as newspaper and internet advertising. Promotion of the shows goes beyond just the weekends of the shows--customer and gallery inquiries will be forwarded to the appropriate artists year-round.
These shows are ideal for the traveling artist wishing to have a "working vacation" -- most artists stay a week and often do back-to-back shows.
Jurying is by on-going periodic rolling-jury. Spaces are
limited in media categories in order to maintain a balance of media types and therefore spaces are reserved on a "first come, first paid" basis.
