We are excited to offer this opportunity to artists and handcrafters to interact with the Buckhead, Chastain and Sandy Springs community.

As many of you know, we held the inaugural Chastain Park Arts Festival in 2009, a juried fine arts event.  The visitors to this festival were primarily from Buckhead and the surrounding areas.  The event was met with unparalleled success!

Many crafters and artists who were not juried into the festival have asked us to put together an smaller scale event in the Buckhead/Chastain area where they could participate. The local community also asked for this to help raise funds for community projects such as the creation of the Chastain Dog Park. 

So, we are happy to announce the BUCKHEAD SPRING ARTS AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL to support the creation of the Chastain Dog Park.  The tentative dates of the event are May 15 - 16.  We have submitted a request to the City of Atlanta to work with those dates, but do not expect to receive final approval until April 1.  We will send out an official announcement as soon as we receive approval.

We invite artists of all disciplines, handcrafters and select "healthy alternative" food vendors to apply.  Maximum number of available spaces is approximately 125.  All participants will be screened prior to confirming reservations.

Applications can be made online and via ZAPP application.

NO RE-SELL will be permitted, no exceptions. All items must be handcrafted and hand made by the artist.

If you prefer not to apply online, you can submit a paper application along with four (4) photos: three (3) of your work and one of your display. We require everyone to have full hemmed table skirts and we do not permit: bedsheets or unhemmed table covers. State and local tax is required to be collected and submitted.

The Atlanta Foundation For Public Spaces was founded with a goal to bring communities together.  For many years, outdoor public marketplaces have been the cornerstone of great communities.

*   *   *

All markets are managed by the Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces, LLC which was formed to create a way of integrating and encouraging both social interactions and the opportunity for individuals and businesses to obtain cross exposures in market places that they may normally not have. Our markets enjoy diverse social and economic participants. All markets are professionally managed and maintained to create a "destination" in which both public and private opportunities for economic growth can be explored.

              The markets are built by artists for artists.

Built by the community for the community.
