This year, the Isle of Wonders Fantasy Festival unveils a brand-new and heartfelt highlight — The Art Forge, a live charity painting event celebrating creativity and compassion.

From June 27th to 29th, some of the most celebrated illustrators in the fantasy and art world will step into the forge, bringing their visions to life before your eyes. Over the course of three days, artists will paint original works — each a one-of-a-kind creation made right at the festival.

On Sunday, June 29th, these exclusive pieces will be presented at a public auction, where attendees will have the chance to bid for a masterpiece, and make a meaningful impact. All proceeds will go to charity, with this year’s funds supporting a local retirement home, helping bring joy and comfort to our elder community members.
