Scenes from the 2026 Members' Art Show Opening Reception

Celebrating Our Member Artists

With the support of many dedicated volunteers and The Camden National Bank, the 2026 Art Show brought us together to celebrate 50 member artists. The theme for this year's arch, constructed by Susan Lerner, Sydney Roberts Rockefeller and Melita Westerland, was "Sockarooni," a continuation of the recycling theme. The artists expressed that, "Single or mated, the socks in the Art Arch '26 remind us of community, where all shapes, sizes, colors and pedigrees can live in overarching harmony, toeing no lines and happily kicking up their heels together." ASC President, Jeff Dunn jauntily modeled the matching hat.

The food, wine and decorations were graciously prepared by members of the Membership & Volunteers Committee: Ann Caswell, Virginia Drewry, Donna Gaines, Sharyn Hastings, Pamela Hattem and Linda Uberseder. The Art Show also serves as an opportunity to thank our many site partners who share their space with us throughout the year.
