Atlanta, GA (March 16, 2009) A juried fine art show is coming to Atlanta as the community receives one of the best art festivals ever to come to the area. The North Atlanta Art Fair at the Forum debuts on May 16 17, 2009. Admission is free and open to the public.
This two-day event brings together an eclectic mix of the nations most talented artists from around the country who will collectively display over $15 million in artwork. The artists were juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity. All of their artwork is original and handmade in America.
We are a national touring art fair based in South Florida, but we found that some of our best customers come from the Atlanta region as it is an area that actively supports the arts, says show promoter Howard Alan. Atlanta deserves a top-rate art fair and were looking forward to bringing a local contingency of artists, as well as a troupe of artists from around the country that have never exhibited in the greater Atlanta area before.
Howard Alan Events, the festivals promoter, stipulates that all artists are required to be on-site for the entire duration of the show. The artists will line The Forum at Peachtree Parkway with their professional display booths, transforming the area into a first-class outdoor art gallery. The public can meet and talk with the artists personally, asking questions about their art and inspirations. The artistic media represented include paintings, sculptures, photos, glass, wood, jewelry, collage, and ceramics.
The North Atlanta Art Fair at the Forum makes the arts accessible to a broad audience. Prices range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $20,000 metal sculptures. The event appeals to family and friends as a free and fun weekend activity, as well as serious art buyers looking to add to their collections. Howard Alan comments, In spite of todays economy people are still investing in art because art heals, art soothes; this is art that is handmade in America.
