This is the best art show of the season. I save my $$$ for this one show. I buy every year. Don’t miss it!
I was looking at a map and I don’t see where Cherokee intersects Waddell. Where is the parking?
thanks
Hi Darryl,
Thanks for your question and hopefully this will help. The parking deck is between those two streets, not at the intersection of them. The best address we can give you for the parking deck is:
Cobb County Parking Deck – Waddell Street entrance
Hansell St NW & Waddell St NE
Marietta, GA 30090

I am curious – does the art show offer any art contests? Thank you. -Jody
The Art Show is a juried exhibition, so each artist must be reviewed before the show and only artists who display their original work are allowed to participate. We are not aware of any contests during the show, but you could check with Carolyn Morris, Event Director, at (770) 592-7180.
