Local Escape to Art Festival

With the last big weekend of summer here and now, stay in town and enjoy some art.

The Marietta Art in the Park Festival is celebrating 25 years as a juried art show, drawing artists of all age groups, kindergarten through professional.

This three day art event includes 150 artists from all over the nation with: jewelry, pottery, painting, woodworking, metal, textile, sculpture, glass and photography.

The Interactive Art Alley is always a crowd favorite for both young and old. Keep Marietta Beautiful will be offering the crowd a chance to create their own vision of our city by using recycled items to create their unique vision of the Marietta Cityscape Project.
