The Atlanta Arts Festival is Back This Weekend, Bigger and Better

Browse through selections from 200 of the country's top painters, photographers, sculptors, leather and metal craftsmen, glassblowers, jewelry designers, wood turners and ceramists in the Artist Market.

Hopefully the sun will continue to shine down on Midtown Atlanta this weekend, September 14 and 15, for the 7th Annual Atlanta Arts Festival at Piedmont Park.

This year the festival continues at "bringing together outstanding artists from all over the country with the large and enthusiastic art buying community of the Atlanta area."  Celebrating their 7th year, Atlanta Arts Festival is ranked among the Top 100 Fine Art & Design Shows in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine. 

This year's festival features artists from 12 different mediums, artist demonstrations and classes, live music, crafts for the kids, festival cuisine and more...And it is completely FREE to the public!

“We have chosen an array of artists from across the country who shares our passion for art,” says Julie Tepp, Atlanta Arts Festival Co-Founder.  “We want the artwork to enhance the cultural experience for Atlanta Arts Festival attendees.”

More than just a haven for art connoisseurs; the casual festival-goers can enjoy an autumn weekend in the park with friends and relax with a glass of wine while perusing the artist market and taking in the live music featured at the festival. Parents will find fun for the whole family with mouth-watering festival food favorites, art demonstrations, Canvas by U classes and crafts for the kids at Lil’ Artist Ally.
