The Center for the Arts supports, promotes, and connects the literary, performance, and visual artists of all ages in the popular vacation region of Lake Sunapee, NH. This summer, the CFA is working in partnership with gallery and furniture store Prospect Hill, outdoor furniture business Deck Dock Home & Garden, and the Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA) to make the weekend of July 12-13 a destination for art enthusiasts everywhere.

A robust itinerary for Friday’s July 12 art preview is planned with a sneak view of artists at the Naturally New England show, which runs all week, and an opening reception with art at popular outdoor retailer Deck Dock. The Livery also has an evening show, offering various artistic events for visitors and vacationers.

Starting Saturday, July 13, Sunapee Harbor has a farmers’ market near the Harbor starting at 9 am. Visitors can check out local establishments and then starting at 10am, head on over to the CFA’s Arts in the Harbor Arts and Crafters Fair, which ends at 4 pm. From here, they can stop by and view the art for sale and on display at Deck Dock or visit the art activity at LSPA’s Watershed Bioblitz.

Starting at 5 pm, the CFA’s Naturally New England Opening Reception will begin showcasing the over 50 artists who show and display their talent across the state. A Ron Brown painting, Lighthouse Serigraph, Rick Stockwell photo, and Adirondack Chair from Deck Dock will be raffled off to those who visit all five locations during the day, and winners will be selected at 5:30pm at the Naturally New England opening reception at the Livery. Don’t miss a tour of beautiful Lake Sunapee with Sunapee Cruises. Then rest up by booking a stay at one of Sunapee Stay’s lodging locations so you can enjoy all Sunapee Harbor has to offer.

If travelers want to visit Sunapee Harbor for a day, July 12 or 13 is the time. For visitors here for a week, the Center for the Arts keeps the art events going by offering tropical fun at the Ladies Night event on Thursday, July 18, featuring a steel drum band.
