Art in The Park Marietta This Weekend

Art in the Park has been a part of the Marietta Square’s history since 1986 and takes place in and around the Historic Marietta Square and Glover Park on Labor Day weekend. It is a Marietta signature event and tradition that celebrates the arts featuring local and national artists from around the country.

This fine art extravaganza features an artist market, children’s art alley, and the famous Painted Pots. Art displayed will include paintings, photography, pottery, graphic arts, sculptures, jewelry, and woodworking from 175 of the country’s finest artists. Festival guests will also have the opportunity to visit the unique shops and boutiques; restaurants, museums and galleries, take in a historic walking tour plus much more, all within walking distance of the festival.

It is an Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 event since 2007, ranked in the Top 100 Classic and Contemporary Craft Shows by Sunshine Artist Magazine, is a Kaleidoscope Award winner from the Southeast Festivals and Events Association and a Pinnacle Award winner from the International Festivals and Events Association.

The festival is free with plenty of free parking on the street and in the Cobb County Park Decks located on Waddell St. at Lawrence St.

I’ve been told that on Saturday a farmer’s market is held right across the street from the festival. It seems like that would be a great time to get some fresh, local produce and fresh, local art.

I am fortunate enough to be included in this show. I was put on the wait list and stayed there for a long time because nobody was backing out of the show but just this week I was told that they had an opening for me. Yay! This is why I try to make sure I always have enough pots to do a good show. That’s a little tip I was told by Martha Grover and it’s a good one.

If you’re in the area of Marietta, Georgia this weekend please stop by and visit. I’d love to see you.

The show runs from 10am - 5pm Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
