Since 1966, the Foley Art Center has served the Gulf Coast with cultural enrichment programs in local schools, grants to art teachers, and children/adult art class sponsorships. From the dreams of fifteen local citizens, FAC has become a vital force in the cultural development of Baldwin County.
Another fest highlight is the local children’s art exhibit. There are many who come to the festival just to see this artwork every year.
