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, which is 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 asked us to put together a 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. The BUCKHEAD SPRING ARTS AND CRAFTS FESTIVAL will help support the creation of the Chastain Dog Park. 

Applications are accepted online and via mail.

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.
