our impact
The Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit, was established in 2007 to honor the life and legacy of Josh Freeman, the former Chair of the Carl M. Freeman Companies. The Foundation impacts more than 130,000 individuals annually through two programs, the Arts Access Initiative and live performances at Freeman Arts Pavilion. When not held at the venue, live performances occur at schools and community centers around Delmarva.
Our Arts Access Initiative provides K-12 students, community partners and families throughout Delmarva access to year-round, high-quality, diverse arts experiences at no cost. Freeman Arts programming includes live concerts, dance, comedy and many other forms of the arts through performances at Freeman Arts Pavilion throughout the summer months, as well as year-round arts opportunities within our smaller venue.
The Freeman Arts Pavilion is our outdoors performance venue in Selbyville, DE that is the home to many of the live performances for both the Arts Access Initiative and Freeman Arts. The venue holds nearly 4,000 guests per live performance, and an array of traditional concert going experience amenities. Each summer, we welcome more than 100,000 guests through both programs at the venue.
