We will also be giving $150 to every art teacher in Delaware County and $1,000 to the Delaware County District Library to purchase art or craft books.
The Delaware Arts Festival Association is a totally volunteer organization. We meet throughout the year to organize the Delaware Arts Festival. We are pleased to live in such a supportive community. Volunteers are always welcome.
The Delaware Arts Festival will be on Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15, 2016. Save the dates. We’ll hope for warm weather and no rain!
