Our festival is a celebration of our community and its relationship with art. With so many talented artists in the area and wonderful art teachers in the schools, creativity is bubbling in East Cork throughout the year. MAF creates an opportunity to showcase, share and express this ongoing creativity during the festival.

Past Festival videos – MAF captured so beautifully by East Cork filmmaker Kara Sweeney of Twenty4Films.
