Callanwolde Arts Festival

Saturday, January 24, 2015

Before heading over to the Honda Battle of the Bands, I started my Saturday with a trip to the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center in Atlanta for their second annual Callanwolde Arts Festival. Toted as a art festival created by artists, the weekend long winter event saw close to 90 artists, from jewelry makers to painters and potters to metal workers, set up shop inside the main house and greenhouse on the grounds to sell their respective crafts.
