Our festival is a celebration of our community and its relationship with art. There are many talented artists in the area. Wonderful art teachers in the schools also contribute greatly. As a result, creativity is bubbling in East Cork throughout the year. MAF creates an opportunity to showcase, share and express this ongoing creativity during the festival.
