Dorchester Showcase of Arts
September 26, 2021 heralds the return of the Annual Dorchester Center for the Arts Showcase event. Canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, the 2021 event takes place on Sunday, September 26 from noon to 5 p.m. along historic High Street in downtown Cambridge, all the way to the waterfront. This art walk and street festival is DCA’s way of “Celebrating our Creative Community” and is a family-friendly free arts event held rain or shine. DCA will be following any current CDC guidelines for safety during the event. The generous support of the Nathan Foundation, the Maryland State Arts Council and the resolute staff and volunteers of DCA have helped present this event for more than 40 years.
There will be four stages of music during the event, with dance presentations and street performers along the route. Food vendors will be off ering up delectable Eastern Shore cuisine, while local restaurants will be open for business. This juried event displays painting, photography, ceramics, drawing/ pastel, fi ber/textiles, glass, jewelry, leather, wood, metal, mixed media, printmaking, sculpture and found object, and even includes heritage arts such as blacksmithing.
Artists and artisans travel from all over Delmarva, many returning to the event year after year, to fill this beautiful waterfront venue with creative and unique artwork for show and sale.
