Founded in 2016, Overlea ArtsFest has evolved from a local art and film festival to a community-based 501c3 arts organization, working closely with county government to develop a viable pipeline for emerging artists making the transition from hobby to career. Now in 2024, Overlea ArtsFest will offer a series of workshops throughout the year on business skills specifically addressing the legal, marketing and financial strategies undergirding successful artists. Our annual art and film festival provides emerging artists a low-cost, juried exhibition and vending opportunity as they hone their business.
Overlea ArtsFest is also partnering with Baltimore County's Holt Park & Center for the Arts to establish and curate ongoing gallery exhibitions for new artists and culturally diverse populations throughout the year. We are networking with arts organizations in and around Baltimore to identify synergies and expand funding opportunities to develop a vibrant arts community.
