The Wesleyan Artist Market has announced the roster of artists for its 23rd annual event, to be hosted virtually April 22-29, 2021.
Many of Wesleyan’s top selling artists from 2019 (2020 cancelled due to COVID-19) will return in 2021 and will be joined by established and emerging artists from across the Southeast. Local Peachtree Corners and Norcross participating artists include Allison Wright (Mixed Media), Andy Free (Wood), Elizabeth Ables (Ceramics), and Julian Tablada (Watercolor).
The Artist Market also announced the following Media Sponsors for 2021: Presenting Media Group Sponsor-Peachtree Corners Magazine and Peachtree Corners Life; Opening Night Presenting Sponsor-Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine; Advertising and Publishing – Imagine Advertising & Publishing, Inc., and Digital Media Management – Stirrup Media Management.
Opening Night, April 22, AH&L will present “The Art of Collecting: Where to Begin & Making it Approachable” via online seminar. The presentation will feature a discussion with interior designer Liz Godwin, art consultant Colleen Lane, and artist and designer Tyler Colgan about the process of procuring art. AH&L’s Home & Design Editor Suzanna Cullen Hamilton, a former antiques and fine arts dealer, will moderate the online seminar.
Kirsten Scott, 2021 Market Co-Chair shares “we remain as committed as ever to bringing outstanding art to our community. The Virtual platform is an exciting opportunity to carry on the great tradition and community-building spirit of the Wesleyan Artist Market.”
The Wesleyan Artist Market is a fine arts, jewelry, and fine wares show. The event will feature the works of 84 professional artists plus 17 Wesleyan student artists. Typically held on Wesleyan’s campus, the Market will be hosted virtually via Shopify’s e-commerce platform due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.
The Wesleyan Artist Market is a long-established Spring tradition and is one of the premier school sponsored art shows in the Southeast. Admission is free, and all are welcome to join the event online. The show has been extended from three days to a full week to accommodate the virtual platform.
