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.

Past Festival videos – MAF captured so beautifully by East Cork filmmaker Kara Sweeney of Twenty4Films. Many more fabulous films to view on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@midletonartsfestival
