At the heart of the Festival is the Arts & Crafts Festival Foundation, a nonprofit on a mission to elevate and support the arts in our community and give back to the civic organizations that make the Eastern Shore the wonderful place that it is. With your support, we make magic happen every year! Proceeds from the Festival go straight back to our community through grants and scholarships for aspiring artists and art programs.
