The Heart of Albany Festival

The annual celebration of art and community returns on what promises to be a fabulous fall Saturday at the Albany Museum of Art. The Heart of Albany Festival daylong event will again feature professional chalk artists competing for Best of Show honors, local amateur artists and groups competing for bragging rights, and talented artists in numerous disciplines demonstrating their skills.

Live entertainment will be performed on The James M. Barnett, Jr. Foundation Stage, with the Barnett Foundation returning as our presenting sponsor. There will be games and activities for kids and families in the AMAzing Activities Area sponsored by Vine Vision.

Inside the museum, festival-goers can view the fall art exhibition and see up-and-coming young artists from our area in the 2nd annual Juried Southwest Georgia Student Exhibition, which opens on festival day.
In addition to the art demonstrations on the museum grounds, festival-goers can grab a bite to eat at the food truck court. Just in time for the Christmas shopping season, the Vendor Village will be back with an array of unique items.

While you are at the festival, don’t forget to get your photo taken at this year’s 3D chalk art image!
