BACC Announces Arts in the Park Selections and Artist of the Year

The Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce and the Arts in the Park Jurying Committee are pleased to announce the selections for this year's Arts in the Park! CLICK HERE

We are also very excited to announce the selection of Doug Frati as the 2024 Artist of the Year!

Doug Frati was born in Maine in 1954. His youth was spent growing up in a small rural town located on the banks of the Sebasticook River. Frati attended art school, graduating with a degree in printmaking. His work was soon collected privately as well as publicly when the Portland Museum of Art included it in their permanent collection.

Arts in the Park will be held June 29 + 30, 2024 at Steamboat Landing Park in Belfast. https://belfastmaine.org/events/arts-in-the-park/
