2027 Theme
Celebrating 40 Years of the Pelham Art Festival
For four decades, the Pelham Art Festival has brought artists, art lovers, and our community together, creating memories that last a lifetime. To mark this milestone anniversary, our 2027 theme, “Memories,” invites artists to reflect on the people, places, moments, and experiences that stay with us.
Whether it’s a childhood memory, a favourite place, a family tradition, or a moment in history that left a lasting impression, we invite artists to bring their memories to life through their own style, medium, and creative interpretation.
As we celebrate 40 years of the Pelham Art Festival, we look forward to sharing our own memories alongside the stories told through art.
