Chimera Coffee to host event kicking off ARTober in Bangor

BANGOR, Maine -The ninth annual celebration of ARTober will kick off with a Bangor arts award event held downtown at Chimera Coffee on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

ARTober is an opportunity to showcase the creative work by Bangor's arts community and remind residents of the many opportunities to enjoy the arts in the City. The City's Commission on Cultural Development will host the event at Chimera Coffee, 24 Broad St., from 6 to 7 p.m.

The gathering will celebrate this year's arts award winner, provide an opportunity to meet art award nominees, and offer support to the City's active arts community.

ARTober began in 2015 with the City designating October as the "Month of the Arts." The month is dedicated to showcasing the City's rich and varied artists and art organizations. The arts award that will be presented Oct. 1 is given to a person or entity that embodies or supports the vitality and creativity of Bangor's art community. The recognition also comes with a $1,000 cash award.

The Commission on Cultural Development accepts grant applications from artists and nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, and Oct. 1 also marks the fall deadline for those applications.
