Make sure to bring the kids so they can participate in KidsWorks* where they'll paint art-boards as well as participate in other art activities for children (constructing hats, face painting, Thumb Buddies and Sun Catchers). Children will work on art-boards with local artists Stanley Bermudez and Bill Pearson as well as students from local high schools, Athens Academy and UGA .
Food and beverages will be available for purchase, so come on out for a weekend of fun, sun and art at this year's Southworks Artists' Market!
On Sunday morning, we will offer free biscuits and coffee for the first 100 guests from 10 - 11 AM.
