The Art Arcade
Our Art Arcade continues to grow, with more new stallholders adding to the established variety of top quality work on show this year. It’s a wonderful celebration of creativity where you can watch, take part, learn and, of course, take home that special work of art as a keepsake to remind you of your time at FolkEast.
Be sure to add your square to our enormous FolkEast Quilt, and don’t forget to add your brushwork to our new mural for 2026, both free activities in the Art Arcade area.
