#TBT On April 19, 1936, Atlanta invites the world to attend her first Dogwood Festival. Walter Rich, president of ADF and founder of Rich’s department store, seeks to make Atlanta internationally known for the blooming of the dogwood trees during the week-long event. Trees are planted in all parts of Atlanta under the sponsorship of the garden clubs and public spirited citizens interested in the beautification of the city. Pageants, parades and carnivals sponsored by the Junior League, along with performances by the Metropolitan Opera, Philadelphia Symphony, and choruses from local colleges, are featured.

2020 Festival Artist Spotlight >> Artist Evelyn Edmeades paints a variety of subject matter, including evocative landscapes, timeworn buildings and boats, vivid abstracts and graceful figuratives. Her textural works slowly evolve via dripping lines of paint, scratches and random markings. A photographer by education, Evelyn is a largely self-taught painter, which leaves her unbound by artistic convention and free to experiment with new styles. #fineartfestival #atlantafestivals #fineart
