Glover Park is decorated for fall festival by many local artist.
Rebecca Drummond became inspired to paint when she redecorated her home. Her work is beautiful and classy.
Jenny Lathem inspires her brother, local oncologist Dr. Michael B. Andrews MD, to blend paint to create definition to a sky she is working on. Michael said his sister has been painting as far back as he can remember and that she would spend six hours a night as a child working with paints.
Every Friday local youth fill the square with music and dance. Zyair "Lotus" Pierce and Raynard "Casanova" Middleton break it down.
Mike Snowden entertains walkers with his Cigar Box Guitars that he handcrafts himself.
Kerry Ayres sits back hanging with good friends and family and enjoys playing acoustically at the store front of Wendy Bunch of Remax Reality on the square. He plays with The Rambunctious Band, and they opened the first of five concerts in the South Cobb Arts Alliance Summer Candlelite Concert Series at the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre.

Marietta's First Friday Art Walks celebrated its final stroll of the season under perfect skies and bearable humidity. The streets and store fronts were filled with the visual art, smells and sounds of local artist in a vibrant and historic backdrop.

Marietta Square is a community filled with all kinds of art year round. Take a class, do your holiday shopping and support local art, theater, restaurants and music whenever you can. We can't wait to see what next season has in store.

Mike Snowden and his Cigar Box Guitars are really cool. I wish I'd seen him the other night.
