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.
