About

The Maitland Rotary Art Festival has been entertaining Central Florida residents and visitors since 1976. Hosted annually by the Rotary Club of Maitland, the event has evolved into a community celebration of the arts. Because of the generosity of our sponsors and patrons, the Maitland Rotary Art Festival is able to deliver an excellent art show while supporting the community by donating more than $1,000,000 to date to local non-profits.

Our Purpose

The Maitland Rotary Art Festival Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that raises funds for the charitable activities of the Rotary Club of Maitland. Those activities include financial support of other local charities.


A Board of Trustees provides oversight of the Art Festival while an organizing committee of Rotarians handles the wide variety of tasks necessary to plan and implement the event.
