The 22nd Annual Wesleyan Artist Market: April 23-25th, 2020

Each year, The Artist Market hosts approximately 75 professional artists from across the region.

The show is held at Wesleyan School, located in Peachtree Corners, GA., just outside of I-285 and approximately 20 miles north of downtown Atlanta. This event is open to the public and admission and parking are free.

The Wesleyan Artist Market is a Fine Art, Jewelry, and Fine Wares show. It is one of the premier school sponsored art shows in the Southeast. Exhibiting artists are in attendance for the entire duration of the show. 

Hallmarks of the 2020 Market include a Designer Preview, a Book Signing by Designer and Author James Farmer, Opening Night festivities, live Entertainment, the Wesleyan Student Artist Market, Food Trucks, and so much more.

Wesleyan’s portion of proceeds from the show benefits the Wesleyan Arts Alliance. The Alliance is a parent run / faculty guided organization that supports student programs, facilities, and arts education at Wesleyan School.

Our goal, quite simply, is to present works that people love. We have a wide offering to appeal to our broad range of patrons--whether you are a looker, a casual shopper, or an avid collector, there is something for everyone at the Wesleyan Artist Market.

Prices range from a couple of dollars to several thousand dollars. There is plenty in between, and we are a one-stop-shop for Mother's Day, Graduation, and end of the school year gifting options.

Come prepared to find what you are looking for, or just come hang and enjoy the inspiration. We encourage our artists to rotate their work over the three day show, so every day is a new day and opportunity to visit.

Please join us for Food Trucks, lattes, live performances, amazing art, and great community.
