Welcome Spring with the Sassafras Artisan Market! April 29 & 30

Set in our beautiful North Georgia mountains, the Sassafras Artisan Market brings together the best artists and fine crafters from around the region. The premier spring art festival, presented by the North Georgia Arts Guild, has a new name, Sassafras, and a new bigger, better place! We’re moving to the Rabun County Civic Center ballroom, pavilions, and lawn.

The juried Artisan Market is host to 90+ artists and artisans exhibiting original art and artisan-made crafts. Many new artists have joined the Market this year, and you’ll also find your old favorites. Shop for whimsical and functional pottery, art glass, jewelry, hand dyed and hand-woven clothing, leather goods, turned wood, bath & body, artisan made foods, and much, much more! Remember, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and graduation are just around the corner. Pick up the perfect gift, or a “happy” for yourself. See SassafrasArtisanMarket.com for the complete list of 2023 exhibiting artists.

The Information Booth in the center pavilion is the place to purchase T-Shirts and tickets for the Art Treasures Tote raffle; a $20 ticket gives you a chance to take home a hand painted canvas tote filled with original art created by Guild artists, valued at over $400. You can sign up to learn a new art or craft from our talented artists in a variety of mediums. You will enjoy the high school student art exhibit, curated by the students themselves. And finally, you can learn about other upcoming North Georgia Art Guild activities and the benefits of membership in the Guild.

The North Georgia Arts Guild is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Proceeds from the Sassafras Artisan Market fund our art scholarship, community outreach, and other NGAG programs. All donations are tax-deductible.
