From local choirs to original theater productions, experimental dance to popular alternative bands, and everything in-between.
KIDS CAMPS
In collaboration with local and visiting teaching artists, we host weekly classes in dance and songwriting, as well as speciality workshops in many other mediums.
Gallery
We’ve created a place for visual artists to showcase their work where community members and visitors alike are welcome.
Dam Jam Revival
Our annual outdoor festival held in August at Bicentennial Park in Denmark, Maine, focuses on family with kid’s art, stilt-walkers, traditional craft artisans, good music-as always, and fun selection of food trucks! Join us.
A collective of community organizers
The Denmark Arts Center values continuous learning, community and the arts creating a community platform for artists, musicians and educational programs that are diverse and support the rich pool of musicians, dancers, visual artists and comedians that the world has to offer. We do this with the intent to educate, entertain and create a sense of community with respect to history, the planet and our place within it.
