Sandy Hook Foundation
Official Nonprofit Partner of the National Park Service at Sandy Hook
Sandy Hook is much more than a favorite destination for many — it is a multifaceted jewel to treasure and protect.
The Sandy Hook Foundation is the official nonprofit friends group for the National Park Service at Sandy Hook, NJ, a unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. Established in 1989, the Foundation has funded cultural, educational, environmental, and conservation programs and has helped restore and preserve historic structures like the Sandy Hook Lighthouse and Fort Hancock — both recognized as National Historic Landmarks. Please join us in supporting our beautiful national park, Sandy Hook.

We are honored and overwhelmed by the interest and response to the show, and excited to showcase all the artists who registered in December. Unfortunately, we can't accept additional space requests for the 2026 show. We hope everyone will save the dates and visit the show in December!
