Last call for submissions!

Summer is around the corner and that means it’s time to submit your art for the Summer Community Art Show entitled America the Beautiful. This year will be a celebration of the American spirit marking the 250th anniversary of our nation. This three-month art show, exhibiting throughout June, July, and August, invites a mix of the arts, crafts, and photography reflecting our country's landscapes, peoples, cultures, and artwork.

We will be taking online submissions up to Friday, May 8, 2026, in any medium (painting, photography, drawing, collage, …) that is an artistic expression that captures the spirit and history of our nation. It could range from images of our grand landscapes, to the people in American daily life, or folk traditions, such as barn quilts. However, we are only accepting art that can be wired and hung on the wall. We will not be accepting any 3D pieces for the glass cabinets which will be filled by the Historical Society. We are looking forward to your submissions that fit this special theme!

Apply here with up images of up to 4 pieces of your work.

April and May are a feast for the ears at the library with TWO double features! (And that's not even counting the vinyl slam record sale on Saturday, May 16th!)

Last week was newcomer Bradford Jazz Trio, while next Sunday April 26th is community favorite The Concord Singers! A musical home to both novice and experienced singers hailing from 23 towns across NJ, and spanning a wide range of ages, professions and backgrounds, the Concord Singers' repertoire is varied and includes secular and sacred music from composers ranging from classical to modern.
