Old Fourth Ward Arts Festival June 25-16, 2016

Old Fourth Ward Park Arts FestivalThe Atlanta Foundation for the Public Spaces is proud to announce the 4th Annual Old Fourth Ward Arts Festival coming up June 25th and 26th in Atlanta, Georgia.

Named “Best New Event” by the Southeast Festivals and Events Association, this two-day arts festival has become the perfect celebration of the artistic innovation that the Old Fourth Ward Neighborhood embodies. Visitors will enjoy art from up to 150 local and regional artists carefully chosen to reflect this historic but progressive neighborhood.

Along with the fine arts and crafts there will be a children’s play area, local food and beverage concessions and live acoustic entertainment. Best of all, it’s entirely free! Historic Fourth Ward Park is just off North Avenue, across from the Ponce City Market. Grab your walking shoes, bike or rollerblades and take the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail to the park! Cyclists can also store their bikes in the additional bike racks provided by the festival.

Of course, the all new and great Ponce City Market is located adjacent to the Old Fourth Ward Park and is a great place for additional dining options, as well as shopping. 

For more information about the festival, please visit oldfourthwardartsfestival.com.

UrbanFronts Galleries Come to Midtown Atlanta

by

When you have empty retail space (ok, that in itself is depressing to have in Midtown…but….) you at least become creative and put temporary things in the space to create visual appeal. Much better than looking at an empty space, right?

Midtown Alliance and The American Institute of Architects have partnered up to create UrbanFronts. As you are out for a walk to or from your office or condo, take a look at these displays.

It appears that the 800 block of Peachtree Street has some excessive open retail space! Always wonder what the benefit is to the landlord/property owner to leave these spaces empty?

We’ve yet to visit them, so we’ll get some photos up as soon as we do!

FREE Admission to Atlanta Attractions

HIgh Museum Midtown Atlanta
High Museum Midtown Atlanta

I’ll be the first to admit (and if you have lived anyplace for any length of time) that I’ve lived in Atlanta for many years, and there are some of these attractions I’ve never, ever seen! But knowing there is an opportunity to see them for… FREE…well just who can pass up an offer like that.

FREE Admission to Atlanta Attractions

Especially take note of the Atlanta History Center and the High Museum as some great options. And the Georgia State Parks and Historic sites can be great for when you are looking for that Saturday or Sunday jaunt out of Midtown Atlanta to experience something new.

Midtown Atlanta Art Festivals | Festival On Ponce April 11-12, 2015

by

One of the awesome things I love about Midtown Atlanta is the festivals. It seems like every time you turn around, there is another one to attend. I’ve certainly had to go into “look but don’t buy” mode as I’ve got no more room unless I part with something. But it’s always amazing to see what these people can create!

Midtown Atlanta Art Festivals | Festival On Ponce April 11-12, 2015

Festival On Ponce April 11-12, 2015Festival on Ponce is another great festival that takes place in a park we often drive by but forget it’s really a park…Olmsted Linear Park! The park runs along side Ponce De Leon Avenue after it passes the intersection of Briarcliff/Moreland and continues past the Fernbank Museum.

The Festival hours are Saturday, 10am-6pm and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.

Over 125 displays of arts and crafts, folk and outsider art will be there along with food and beverage! And its…..FREE!  The Festival On Ponce is sponsored in part by The Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces. They sponsor numerous festivals around Atlanta and you can find those at their website!

You can also learn more about Olmsted Park from the Olmsted Linear Park Alliance.

Looking forward to seeing you in the Park!

You’ll also be close to the new Ponce City Market if they have any of their retail open as well as the new Krog Street Market. Lots of things to see and do in Midtown Atlanta and the surrounding area!
