The Georgia’s Rome Welcome Center and Gift Shop is proud to announce the return of its annual Spring Art Market, taking place April 10–11 at the Rome Civic Center. Now in its fourteenth year, the event will feature a vibrant selection of local artists, makers, and growers.

“This year, we are changing things up a bit, and we’re excited about how it’s shaping up. This should be our best market yet,” said Charlene Mathis, Welcome Center and Gift Shop Manager. “We encourage people to start shopping early and join us after work on Friday to enjoy the variety of food and drink vendors.”
The market will showcase artists across a wide range of disciplines, including painters, potters, and local food producers. Artists of all backgrounds are represented, offering attendees a diverse and engaging shopping experience. Admission and parking are free. The market will be held both inside and outside the Rome Civic Center.
