Applications for artists at ARTucker, a festival showcasing Georgia artists and makers, have been extended to midnight on March 7.
The 11th annual ARTucker returns to Tucker on April 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. While the festival has been held at Tucker Church Street Green Space in years past, ARTucker will be hosted at Tucker Town Green this year. The family-friendly event will include 50 local artist booths, with work spanning media like clay, fiber, jewelry, glass, and photography.

Founded by Patty Young in 2015, the non-profit has fostered Tucker’s arts community by providing local artists a space to present and sell their work while raising money for organizations like the Tucker Recreation Center, the Tucker Art Guild, and Tucker High School’s art program. Over more than a decade, ARTucker has grown exponentially. Organizers expect 2,500 attendees this year, an increase from 2,000 in 2025 and 1,000 in 2024.
This year’s festivities will include free crafts and activities like face painting, bubbles, a crafting project provided by Scraplanta, and interactive vertical chalk walls. The Tom Hill Trio will return to ARTucker this year, closing out the evening after 12 other live performances from artists like Tucker Women’s West African Drumming, Cherish Dance, and James MahKween.
Attendees will also enjoy food trucks from local favorites like King of Pops and Bell Street Burrito, as well as raffle prizes.
ARTucker vendor applications cost $25 and close at midnight on March 7. Once accepted, vendors will be responsible for a $75 booth fee. More information and the full event lineup can be found on ARTucker’s website.
