“Art is intrinsic to the health and happiness of a place.”
Meet Matthew Glassman, Chocolate Church’s new Executive & Artistic Director.
He’s an artist, performer, father, and community organizer. In the past 25 years, you could have met him while he performed in the air on bungees, led a parade of children through the woods at his Wilder Imagination Camp, organized donors for a multi-million dollar arts campaign, or listened to his favorite Bob Dylan track over a shared coffee.
We are overjoyed to announce that the Chocolate Church Arts Center is one of just eighteen venues in the nation to be selected as a Spring 2022 grantee of Live Music Society. This is an incredible honor, and the funding will allow us to continue bringing live music to you.

If you're looking for a unique Christmas present, a nonprofit in midcoast Maine might have something right up your alley. The Chocolate Church Arts Center in Bath along with dozens of local professional and amateur musicians and artists have created a book called “From Home in Bunny Slippers.” The title is a reference about how so many people are working from home during the pandemic.
Bath’s Chocolate Church Arts Center, known locally as a hub for live music, theater and art, was awarded a nearly $50,000 grant, which will be used to help rehabilitate the 173-year-old Gothic Revival style church it calls home. The REvitalizeME sub-grant program was awarded by the Maine Development Foundation’s Maine Downtown Center Program in partnership with the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. The grant program, funded by the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program of the National Park Service, supports the rehabilitation of historic properties throughout the state.
