Northeast Georgia Arts Tour
With a menu that includes more than 100 artists in over 35 locations from the top of Highway 400 to Tallulah Falls, the Northeast Georgia Art Tour’s sixth Open House summer swing through the galleries, shops, studios, guilds and performing arts venues of four mountain counties is a moveable feast.
Artists and crafts people in White, Habersham, Rabun and – new this year – Dahlonega-Lumpkin counties will welcome visitors into their workspaces with demonstrations, workshops, interactive events, juried art festivals, scenic Sunday brunches and more in this self-guided driving and walking tour show casing the finest paintings, pottery, jewelry, fiber art, wood work, glass, mixed media, metal, photography and handcrafted furniture available. You choose your starting point – Dahlonega to Dillard, Cleveland to Clayton – with hundreds of miles of creativity artistic presentation will reveal itself at every turn!
Start your delectable road trip by logging on to www.ArtsTour.org where you’ll find downloadable maps with which to plot your course, presenting artists and their locations, hours of operation and more. Include stops at our delightful participating dining and lodging partners, also listed, along the way. This warm weather weekend will bring out the “best in show” and where to go across Northeast Georgia. Just look for the bright yellow Art Zone signs!
