What the artists say about us:
It's intimacy is its strength. Plus, it has the walkability factor and lots of kids' activities provided by local businesses. I love going every year to talk with my neighbors, relax, hear some great music and have my senses wowed by the artists."
Lena Stephen Saldivia-Jones - "5 star.
The Brookhaven Arts Festival is one of Atlanta's hidden gems: Great artists, great music, great food, but not so crowded and massive that you can't have a conversation with the artists.

Kathy Wolfe "5 star. Great Fall Fest with a loyal crowd of attendees from the neighborhood! Easy to do, easy to park, and the weather is usually excellent. Happy to have it come back around!"

Comments
This is a great location, and it's pretty well run. I was very disappointed in people attending to look and not buy. I always have a lot of art in various price ranges, but even $100 was way too much for this crowd. I have no idea if this is a poor neighborhood or what but the attendees don't seem to have much money. The artist next to me sold relatively nothing also. Baskets and crafts sold better than art. I would never do this art fair again.
