2012 Fall Festival on Ponce

Saturday, September 15, 2012

Each fall, Olmstead Linear Park off of Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta transforms into an art lovers paradise. For one weekend in September the park hosts the annual Fall Festival on Ponce. 185 local, regional and national artists participate in the weekend festivities, setting up booths full of different art mediums for sale. I photographed the festival for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on fall.
