“Now and Then,” a show of paintings by Camden resident Nina Holland, will be on exhibit in the upper and lower levels of the Rockport Public Library Dec. 2, 2025 - Jan. 29, 2026. The display is a retrospective of Holland’s work, spanning her 65-year career as an artist.
Trained as a painter, Holland is also known as an accomplished weaver and craftsperson. Her work has been exhibited country-wide, including five venues in New York City. She has won several awards in juried shows including a purchase prize and alcove show at New Mexico State Art Museum in Santa Fe.
In the 1970s, she published numerous articles and three books – two about weaving and one about quilting. She taught at Evansville University and North Country Community College.
Nina Holland plans to donate all proceeds from the sales of her artwork in the Rockport Library show to International Rescue Committee, rated a four-star charity on Charity Navigator.
A weekly gathering of friends, coffee, and games, for patrons 55 and up. Don't forget to ask for your FREE cup of drip coffee or tea. A part of our Community Thursday programming.

There are so many reasons to keep honeybees – to support pollinators, for the joy of observing them at work, and for the honey, propolis & beeswax that beekeepers can collect.
Join Master Beekeeper Karen Thurlow for three sessions to help you get ready for your first season keeping bees. She will prepare you for the earliest decisions you’ll have to make when starting out: what equipment to get (and where), how to put together a new hive and where to situate it, and what bees to order and in what “form” (package or nuc). Karen will also introduce you to the lives of bees themselves – what their roles and basic needs are – as well as what you need to look for when inspecting your hive(s), and what each of the four seasons as a beekeeper will require of you.
*This is a 3 part webinar series with sessions taking place on: January 24, January 25, & January 31 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. All sessions will be recorded & the recordings shared with registrants. We will reserve February 1 as a snow date in case of power or internet outages.

Union+Co is partnering with the City of Bath and Kennebec Estuary Land Trust to present a community screening of the debut feature film from local, Portland-based directors Kaitlyn Schwalje and Alex Wolf Lewis. The film will screen on January 29th 5:30-8PM at Union+Co in Bath.
Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong, which had its World Premiere at the Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) in September, is a charming documentary that celebrates one of Portland’s lesser-known landmarks: its Wastewater Treatment Facility, and the workers who keep things…running smoothly. Unless Something Goes Terribly Wrong received the Fowlie Award for Audience Favorite at CIFF this past September, marking the first time a Maine-based film has taken home the festival’s top audience honor.
Post-screening, the filmmakers will join representatives and employees of Bath's Public Works facility for a Q+A about the film and wastewater treatment in Bath.
Tickets are by donation!
