The Sandy Springs Artsapalooza is a two-day outdoor event with an emphasis on the visual arts and handcraft. Located in the heart of Sandy Springs in Fulton County, we set out with many different goals in mind:
- Give back to the community through art
- Create a venue that emphasizes local and Georgian artists, so they have a show they can depend on in their own back yard
- Bring a festival to the folks in the northern part of Fulton county
- Create a festival for Artists by Artists, letting the artist have a voice in the creation and operations of the festival
- Create a show unlike any other in the City of Sandy Springs, bringing together outstanding local, regional and national artists.
The Sandy Springs area is a vibrant, upscale, family friendly community just north of Buckhead and Atlanta. This event will feature up to 150 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 arts activities, and enjoy festival foods and beverages. Plus, there will be artistic activities for children!
The Festival benefits a scholarship fund for local artists administered by the Georgia Foundation for Public Spaces.
