2022 Recap
CAMP Rehoboth Visual Arts
CAMP Rehoboth’s Visual Arts Program highlights our community’s unique history and culture, and serves to further diversity, equity, and inclusion by building unity and understanding.
Support of the arts has been part of CAMP Rehoboth’s purpose since its founding. The program seeks to shine a light on the arts, the talent of the arts community, bring more diverse artists into CAMP Rehoboth, and explore pertinent themes that enlighten, educate, and build community.
In 2022, CAMP Rehoboth hosted 10 art exhibitions, providing over 100 artists with an opportunity to exhibit.
Hundreds of patrons attended the artist receptions and stopped by to enjoy and learn from the art on display. A highlight was celebrating the history of CAMP Rehoboth in 30 Photos in 30 Years, while two solo exhibits promoted the work of popular local community artists. ▼
