About the event
ARTS FEST is the Creative Arts Guild’s annual celebration of fine art and crafts. Centered around a covered outdoor market featuring artists from all over the southeast, it also includes an indoor juried patron exhibit which hangs in the Guild galleries from September 18 - October 23, children's activities, live music and performances, food vendors, and self-guided tours of the Robert T. Webb Sculpture Garden. Admission is free on Saturday and Sunday. ARTS FEST weekend kicks off with our signature ticketed Friday night event, the ARTS FEST Preview Party. Our patrons enjoy making early purchases from both the outdoor Artist Market and the ARTS FEST Gallery Exhibit, all while sampling tasty treats from some of Dalton's favorite restaurants. The Creative Arts Guild is Georgia’s oldest multi-disciplinary community arts center. We are located in northwest Georgia, approximately 20 miles south of Chattanooga TN and 70 miles north of Atlanta.
