Oak Island Art Guild
Annual Arts & Craft Festival
Dear Arts & Crafts Vendors, Visitors and Community members -
Based on the current extremely high risk of Covid19 infection in Brunswick County, the Executive Board of the Oak Island Art Guild has decided to cancel this year’s OKI Arts & Crafts Festival originally scheduled for September 4, 2021.
We regret the financial hardship imposed by this decision, but healthy artists and community are our priority. All application funds will be returned. We look forward to a healthy & successful Arts & Crafts Festival on Saturday, September 3, 2022.
This very popular event has several thousand people who attend each year! We wish everyone a happy & creative year and we will hopefully see you next year on:
September 3, 2022, 9 am to 4 pm
rain date is Sunday, September 4, 2022
We would like to honor our fellow artist, and vendor chairperson, Penny Prettyman, who passed in grace in December, 2020. We dedicate this 2021 Festival in her memory and hope that we continue in the spirit of her love of art, turtles and animals - where she found, and created beauty in this world.
