Alpharetta Art in the Park (AITP) celebrates its 14th year! AITP is a 2 day event held one weekend a month in Brooke Street Park in the City Center Shopping District next to City Hall in Alpharetta, Georgia. This artist market features handcrafted products and original artwork created by artisans from the local Alpharetta art community, from the metro Atlanta area, the state of Georgia & communities beyond. Art in the Park was created by artists for artists and 14 years later continues to be led by an active working Artist who knows all the hard work and patience that is required to be an exhibitor in festivals and artist markets. We want our artist and exhibitors to be successful, that is why we strictly enforce that no "buy-sell" merchandise is allowed in our monthly artist markets. Artist Market dates for 2024: April 20-21 May 18-19 June 29-30 July 27-28 August 24-25 September 28-29 October 26-27 Something of note that is truly unique to our market on Saturday mornings is our close proximity to the Alpharetta Farmers Market which consistently brings big crowds to the City Center Shopping District where our event is located. We are literally on the other side of the street, so our event gets an extra boost from all the increased activity and shoppers in the area, Saturday morning. Both events compliment each other and are a great combination for the community of Alpharetta.
