2008 Taste for Douglasville Arts

                                                                                          

Vendors, Restaurants & Sponsors Wanted!  

Douglasville, Georgia – In partnership with the Downtown Development Authority, the Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County presents the 2008 Taste for DOUGLASVILLE Arts, now in its thirteenth year and better and bigger than ever before --- and an event no one should miss!  Arts and crafts vendors and artists groups, area restaurants, and local businesses can contact the Cultural Arts Council (770-949-2787) now to request vendor, restaurant and sponsorship packets and register to participate in Douglasville’s most popular annual downtown event.

Janice Thompson and Linda Worthan, our community’s two first ladies, will serve as our Honorary Co-Chairs for the event again this year; and CAC Board Member Allison Williams of Managed Care Billing Services, has agreed to be our Event Chair.  WSB 750-AM Radio will also be our media sponsor again in 2008 with Captain Herb Emory, and the Douglas County Sentinel will publish and distribute more than 5,000 copies of our event catalogue.  There will be high quality outdoor arts and crafts booths, lots of children’s activities, and outstanding performers on the O’Neal Plaza stage. The 2008 Taste for Douglasville Arts will include more vendors, more restaurants, more participants, and more family fun as well as more promotion of this community cultural showcase in historic downtown Douglasville, and a special new wine-tasting event featuring North Georgia vineyards at the Downtown Conference Center!

Last year more than 5,000 people enjoyed TASTE FOR DOUGLASVILLE ARTS, and their participation helped the Cultural Arts Council support school programs reaching more than 10,000 local students, affordable spring break & summer arts camps in county and city parks, free spring and fall concerts on O’Neal Plaza, critically acclaimed monthly gallery exhibits at the historic Roberts-Mozley House, and many more special events like the annual Cowboy Poets Gathering, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Ice Cream Social & Pioneer Days offered throughout the year.
