All EFV events and programs are managed by the non profit, Global Exchange Arts Roundtable (GEAR). Our goal is to celebrate, enjoy and efficiently organize unique arts, culture, local food and drink events on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Every year, in the town of Cape Charles we make new short films and produce several events for our award winning Art Soaked Weekends. Featuring local and international artists, we use our beautiful state as a living landscape for art. Founded and directed by Renata Sheppard, this is a home-grown non profit comany.
