🎄 Celebrate the Season at the Christmas Arts & Crafts Festival at Lanier Tech

🎄 Celebrate the Season at the Christmas Arts & Crafts Festival at Lanier Tech

It’s that magical time of year again — the sparkle of lights, the scent of pine, and the joy of finding just the right gift made by hand. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be participating in the 22nd Annual Christmas Arts & Crafts Festival at Lanier Tech, one of the largest indoor/outdoor art festivals in Forsyth County!

This two-day event is hosted by the Sawnee Association of the Arts (Cumming Arts Center) — a 100% volunteer-run organization dedicated to celebrating creativity in our community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to shop local, support artists, and find one-of-a-kind treasures just in time for the holidays.

📅 Festival Dates & Times

• Saturday, November 8th: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

• Sunday, November 9th: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM📍 Lanier Technical College, Forsyth Conference Center, Cumming, GA🎟️ Free Admission!

  
  

You’ll find more than 80 talented artists and makers (including me!) showcasing original, handcrafted works — from paintings and pottery to woodwork, glass art, fiber creations, and even delicious artisan foods. It’s a perfect way to fill your home (or someone else’s!) with beauty, craftsmanship, and heart.

✨ Festival Highlights Include:

• Elf Corner Gift Shop – A magical place where children can shop on their own with the help of cheerful elves. Every gift is priced between $1–$8 and includes gift wrapping — a tradition that delights little shoppers every year!

• Festival of Trees Shop – Browse and purchase beautifully decorated tabletop trees (1–4 feet tall), lovingly created by local artists.

• Photos with Santa – Bring your camera and capture the moment with Santa in his sleigh! Donations support the Cumming Arts Center’s community programs.

• Food Vendors – Enjoy festive bites and warm drinks while you shop and stroll.

  
  

I’ll have a booth filled with my original watercolor and mixed media artwork, including prints, holiday gifts, and nature-inspired pieces perfect for decorating your home or giving to someone special. Come by, say hello, and shop small this season — every purchase supports independent artists and keeps creativity thriving in our community.

I can’t wait to see you there and share in the holiday spirit!

🎁 Mark your calendars for November 8–9 and join us for this joyful celebration of art, community, and Christmas cheer.
