JULY 12-30
As it has for the past 43 seasons, Summer Festival of the Arts - SFOA - on Mount Desert Island, once again presents a variety of arts experiences for young people- virtually when needed, in person when possible!
Most of our participants live on Mount Desert Island year-round, but we also have many summer visitors from across the state of Maine and beyond. SFOA encourages community and cooperation among all of our students and their families, our teachers and staff, and the greater artistic community of MDI and surrounding areas.
The all of our programs culminate in a Finale performances and presentations that provide young artists an opportunity to perform, present or display their creativity.
Artists, whose common goal is to inspire the imagination and have fun, teach the classes!
SFOA is a non-profit organization supported by tuition and donations from generous individuals, local businesses and foundations. We need your support now more than ever. Please consider a donation.
