Chastain Park Arts Festival Approaching

Staff Report

The Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces is proud to announce the Sixth Annual Chastain Park Arts Festival on November 7th and 8th in Atlanta, Georgia. Named Best Self Magazine’s “Best Local Festival,” the Chastain Park Arts Festival will transform the park into an outdoor art gallery to the backdrop of vibrant fall hues. This two-day event will feature up to 200 fine local and regional artists and artisans along tree lined Park Drive in Chastain Park. This is definitely an event that you do not want to miss!

Visitors will enjoy fine art and crafts, a children’s area and local food and beverage concessions including the “gourmet” food trucks. Local acoustic musicians will enliven the atmosphere in addition to live art demonstrations. This event is organized by the Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces and volunteer artists. Best of all, it’s entirely free to attend!

The Chastain Park area is rich with one of the largest and most enthusiastic art buying communities in the Atlanta area. More than 50,000 visitors are expected over the weekend to view the many painters, photographers, sculptors, leather and metal craft persons, glass blowers, jewelers and more! The Festival will also offer visitors the opportunity to view artist demonstrations, enjoy live entertainment, participate in hands-on art activities, and enjoy festival foods and beverages.

The festival benefits a scholarship fund for local artists administered by the Georgia Foundation for Public Spaces. For more information about the festival, please visit www.chastainparkartsfestival.com.
