Brookhaven Arts Festival

The 8th annual, 2011 Brookhaven Arts Festival will be held Saturday October 15th (10am - 6pm) and Sunday October 16th (12pm-6pm). The BAF is free to the community and is held on Apple Valley Road, directly behind the Brookhaven MARTA Station. Mark your calendars for this great event! Cory, Jasper, and I enjoyed ourselves at last year's festival, and we're looking forward to this years. 

Hmm, you might think... why are they informing me about an event that is over 6 months away? Well, we'll tell you:  2011 applications are now being accepted until June 10th if you are interested in being one of the 100+ artists featured at the festival this year and spots fill up quickly - so get yours in early! If you aren't an artist and are still interested in getting involved from a planning/set up perspective, the BAF needs volunteers.  It is a 100% volunteer planned event, and there are several areas in need of help, from working with children to helping the artists. For more information please contact volunteer coordinator Christy Murray, christy4thebaa@hotmail.com. Don't worry about putting the event on your calendar now (unless you're an artist or volunteer)... we'll post a reminder when we have more info about vendors, etc. 

The Brookhaven Art Alliance- sponsor/planner of this event, is having a happy hour March 23rd on the patio at 57th Fighter Group beginning at 6:00 P.M. If you're interested in learning more about the BAA or their other programs- this would be a great event to attend!
