Art in the Park returns to historic Marietta Square September 5-7, 2009, for three days of outdoor artistic enjoyment. Each year, the festival attracts artists from across the nation for a juried art show and artist market. This fall welcomes more than 130 artists who showcase their talent through media including painting, photography, pottery, sculpture and jewelry. In addition to the artist market, visitors can stroll the Interactive Art Alley and create their own make-and-take projects.
During the Labor Day Weekend event, the Square becomes a family-friendly destination as festival attendees experience the charm of the district that is brimming with restaurants, quaint shops and culture. Attractions like the Cobb/Marietta Museum of Art, the Marietta Museum of History, the Strand Theatre and the Theatre in the Square accommodate festivalgoers with special operating hours.
