Camden County Teen Arts Festival

The 2022 Camden County Teen Arts Festival returns to celebrate art education in Camden County high schools. More than 350 students from 18 schools will participate in the first in-person Teen Arts Festival to be held in Camden County since 2012.

The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and is presented by the Camden County Board of Commissioners, the Camden County Cultural and Heritage Commission and the Arts at Camden County College.

The Teen Arts Festival is an annual state-wide event for middle and high school students to be recognized for their interests in the arts and to encourage them to continue their creative work. Schools send delegations of students to share their work for critiques and critical analysis in a variety of artistic disciplines, from fine arts to performance. Counties hold Teen Arts events, where students gather during a one-day event to present their work, receive critiques from professional artists, observe the work of their peers, and participate in hands-on workshops in their areas of interest with local professionals. Winners at the county level qualify to compete with students from other counties in the statewide Teen Arts Festival in June.
