9th Annual Brookhaven Arts Festival Kicks Off Oct. 20

Celebrate the arts right here in Brookhaven at the Ninth Annual Brookhaven Arts Festival, sponsored by the Brookhaven Arts Alliance, a nonprofit organization that provides art education to children in the Brookhaven and surrounding area.

Artwork from more than 125 vendors, including many local artists and others from the southeast region, will be featured at this year's festival.

Festival attendees will notice a range of new talent and established artists this year. Some of the varieties include glass, fiber, folk art, jewelry, paintings, pottery, and photography.

Art is not all there is to the Brookhaven Arts Festival. There will also have live music, food, and activities for children including an area where they can create their own artwork.
