Did you make it to the Atlanta Arts Festival?

Hazy skies and mild weather made for a pleasant walk around Piedmont Park this weekend.  Diverse art, a handful of local musicians, demonstrations and festival food were among the festivities.  But, even if you didn’t make it out this weekend, you can still check out many of the artists’ websites.
