The Caroline County Council of Arts, in partnership with the Caroline County Public Library, brings you the newly dubbed Friday Nites in Caroline, a merging of the former Friday Nites at the Library and Performing Arts Series. The new series offers a rich variety of entertainment to the residents of Caroline County from October to March. These free performances are held at one of several library venues in the county, and offer fun for the whole family! From brass, jazz, blues and classical musicians to comedians, dancers, circus acts and more, these critically acclaimed performances are a well worth seeing. These free performances are brought to you with support from Tri-Gas & Oil, Best Western Denton Inn, and the Maryland State Arts Council.
This new series, offered by the Caroline County Council of Arts, features free artist demonstrations at The Foundry, our new community art gallery located at 401 Market Street in Denton. Free demonstrations from local artists will be held the second Saturday of every month from 2-4pm, with opportunities for audience participation during some events. Be a part of the creative process...from canvas to pumpkins, jewelry to wreaths, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
