Breaking News:
Due to the pandemic, state regulations and declining artist applications; the 2021 Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festivals have been cancelled.
The Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festivals Arts are directed by long-time Mt Desert resident artist Marc Fink and feature quality artists and crafters from all over the United States and other countries and are run during the peak of the tourist season on Mt Desert Island. Artists are juried to ensure both consistent quality as well as a balanced show in terms of different media.
Mt Desert has long been a destination for artists; and these shows provide the opportunity for both artists and patrons to take in beautiful art while vacationing in the inspiring area!
Artists confirming their booth space payments may also request their spaces upon space payment (and an alternate) if they wish.
The 2021 shows are:
• Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival: Held on the grounds of the Bar Harbor Inn on the town waterfront August 6 - 8. This is the "flagship" show and has established a reputation with both artists and patrons as one of the top shows in northern New-England. Show hours are Friday noon to 8 pm, Saturday 9 am to 8 pm and Sunday 10 am to 5 pm
• Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival II: The follow up to the Bar Harbor Fine Arts Festival will be held the weekend following Labor Day weekend; September 10 - 12. This is still a busy time of the year on the island and cruise ship port calls increase compared to peak summer months. “Relaxed” customer shopping now that the kids are back in school! Show hours are Friday noon to 7 pm, Saturday 9 am to 7 pm and Sunday 10 am to 5 pm
