 38th Annual Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival

The 38th Annual Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival, presented by Schell Brothers and the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce will be held on Saturday, September 10th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  This annual event, located in downtown Bethany Beach, brings in over 100 artists to showcase and sell their work. The featured artists bring unique creations representing a variety of different mediums including paintings, photography, woodwork, metalwork, clay, baskets, jewelry and porcelain.

In addition to exploring the works of over 100 artists, this year’s Arts Festival will debut a self-guided tour: Discover the Arts and Antiques of the Quiet Resorts. The Discover the Finer Things Guide will feature a tour map in the centerfold of the publication while businesses, who create and sell fine arts and antiques, will be featured in the second-half of the publication. The Bethany Beach Arts Festival will continue to be highlighted in the front half of the Discover the Finer Things Guide. The guide and map will be distributed at the festival, as well as in the Chamber Information Center throughout the year.

Two charitable events will round off the day at the boardwalk.  A Silent Auction and scholarship giveaway, will take place on the bandstand. The Silent Auction will offer works of art generously donated by the festival’s artists, with all proceeds supporting local art programs at four elementary schools in the Indian River School District. Additionally, the Chamber and the Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation (QRCF) will offer a $1,000 art scholarship for one local high school junior or senior artist. Public judging for the final prize will take place on the bandstand.  For more information on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival, please visit www.BethanyBeachArtsFestival.com or call (302) 539-2100.
