The skaters will wow you with a family-friendly piece called “Solstice” that has a commissioned score by Jonathan Garland. “Solstice” will take spectators on a winter wonderland adventure with the kind of magic only ice dancing can invoke.

New Ventures Maine’s Virtual Art Show
Through February. Online at librarycamden.org/event/nvme-art-show.
For the month of February, Camden Public Library invites you to a virtual art show where you’ll view creations by five midcoast artists who all attended classes and workshops through New Ventures Maine, the non-profit organization invested in helping Mainers succeed in the changing economy. Specifically, the show was inspired by a class on building confidence that took place last winter, and you’ll see the vibrant, inspired fruits of their labors. The artists are Christina Barstow, Sue Garrett, E.L. (Lisa) Morgan, Jody Solow  and Marjorie Strauss. Several of the pieces are available for purchase, and participating artists are donating 20% of proceeds to Camden Public Library. On Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 6 p.m., there will be a virtual presentation featuring several of the artists, along with New Ventures Maine workforce specialist Melinda Wildes.
