Art Outside: The annual arts and craft fair at Viking Village in Barnegat Light is Sunday, June 21. The event always marks the start of the summer season with a wide variety of high-quality arts and crafts, many from local artists. Event coordinator Pam Larson said the outdoor venue will be thoughtfully arranged so booths will be appropriately distanced from each other. It’s suggested to wear masks and take other COVID-19 precautions while shopping.

Live Art Exhibit: The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences is planning to make its 22nd annual “National Juried Competition: Works on Paper” exhibit open to visitors to the Blai Gallery. As the state allows gatherings of up to 50 people indoors and the Blai Gallery is a wonderful airy and spacious venue, the LBIF is hanging the show. The judge for the national competition is Sarah Suzuki, curator of drawings and prints at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The show is tentatively scheduled to go up on June 26 and run to July 19.
A busy summer is planned with everything the LBIF is known for. The Summer Catalog is available online and includes exhibits, classes, tennis, special events and children’s camps.
Coloring activity pages are still available on its website, lbifoundation.org. The Foundation wants to thank artist and graphic designer Tracey Cameron for illustrating these pages.
