Camden Arts and Culture Map

The Camden Arts and Culture Map is an interactive guide to public art, cultural institutions and points of interest in the City of Camden, NJ. This map was originally created as part of the A New View temporary public art installation that transformed six highly visible spaces along Camden’s public transportation corridors from eyesores used for illegal dumping into multi-purpose community forums. Some of those installations are still on view today along with many other creative pieces created by Camden residents and artists of national and international acclaim.

Camden Art for Change

Camden Art for Change is a temporary public art project featuring a series of sidewalk murals in and around “adopted” storm drains in flood prone areas of Camden. The illustrative artwork around the drains bolsters the existing “Adopt-a-Drain” program by drawing attention to the issue that storm drains clogged by leaves and litter result in combined sewer flooding and water pollution. The art depicts how both issues are compounded by climate change impacts such as increased frequency and intensity of rainfall.

The sidewalk art is accompanied by a free “Camden Storm Drains” coloring book! To get your free coloring book join us at the “Pop Up Art Party” on Friday, October 7th at 5th and Erie Streets in North Camden. And follow us on social media for more dates and locations where we’ll be handing out books @ctlcamden and @welivehereartists on Instagram and Facebook.

​The “Art for Change” project can be seen at the following locations until October 31st 2022.
 
Litwin’s Market – 801 Elm St, Camden, NJ 08102
Cheo’s Market – 2220 River Ave, 08105
Farnham Park – Baird Blvd Camden, NJ 08103

The artwork for this project was created and installed by the “We Live Here Artists,” a group of Camden-based visual artists whose collective work revolves around civic engagement, environmental justice and open space for all. Their work is present in various locations throughout the city of Camden. This artwork is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the New Jersey Coastal Management Program, Department of Environmental Protection – in partnership with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

"Camden Kings and Queens"

Connect the Lots teamed up with local artist Erik James Montgomery to produce "Camden Kings and Queens" a new mural at Dudley Grange Park in East Camden. This mural is an original work by Erik James Montgomery who produced two amazing photo series for A New View Camden in 2021. This latest piece showcases students from Forest Hill School as young royalty against a backdrop of flags from around the world. No matter where we go, Camden's young people are regal, royal and representing.
