The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation was established in 1995 as an independently operated 501 C3 not-for-profit organization to honor the late Destin pioneer, Mattie May Kelly.  The Foundation is not affiliated with the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at Northwest Florida State College. 

Since 1995, the Foundation presents numerous cultural events along the coast for the performing, visual and literary arts.  Residents and visitors enjoy a broad range of cultural experiences from concerts, fine art exhibits and festivals to fundraising events. 

Join the celebration of the Arts!  The Foundation sustains its mission through the support of its members to present quality cultural events to the community.  Memberships are available at the individual, family or business levels.  Come and celebrate the season with us!
