On Saturday, January 24 and Sunday, January 25, 2015, The Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces (AFFPS) celebrated their second annual Callanwolde Arts Festival at one of Atlanta’s most distinctive historic properties, the 27,000-square foot Callanwolde Mansion in Druid Hills. The award-winning, two-day indoor festival featured approximately 86 painters, photographers, sculptors, metalwork, glass artists, jewelers, and more. Open to all ages, the festival also offered artist demonstrations, live acoustic music, food trucks with healthy alternatives, and dance performances.
Art lovers were also invited to take advantage of the ticketed V.I.P. Preview Sales Party on Friday, January 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a glass of wine to sip on as they strolled throughout the historic home and were the first to view and shop the artwork showcased at this year’s festival. Ocean Catering Company provided hors d’oeuvres for guests to nosh on while they mixed and mingled with the artists and enjoyed live acoustic music. Proceeds from ticket sales at the event and V.I.P. party benefited the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition (CFAC). For more information about the festival please visit www.callanwolde.org.
