About the Pelham Art Festival The Pelham Art Festival, now in its 36th year, is a not-for-profit corporation and is recognized as one of the premier spring Art Festivals in Ontario. We host nationally and internationally acclaimed Canadian artists and welcome thousands of visitors, art lovers and collectors to the festival every year. Collectively, our visitors spend over $50,000 annually on buying art, contributing to the economic prosperity of the participating artists and the cultural vibrancy of Pelham.
The Online Festival offers Curated Collections of artists' and artisans' artwork selected by fine art professionals. Between festivals, online art galleries at pelhamartfestival.com show current work that can be purchased directly from Artists. The festival is a fundraising event and artist/artisans donate back 15%of their sales.
We are a proud community sponsor of Lincoln Pelham Public Libraries and the arts. Festival proceeds benefit the Lincoln Pelham Public Libraries and provide annual scholarships to graduating Pelham students from E.L. Crossley Secondary School and Notre Dame College School, who will pursue post-secondary studies in fine arts. The festival also supports various community arts projects.
