Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge will be hosting a different artist each fall weekend through Nov. 9. The artistic talent ranges from painting to pottery, and from calligraphy to hand carved bowls, with artists selling their products and demonstrating their skills.
David Little will be the featured artist during the third weekend in October. Although he has had artistic success in multiple artistic techniques, he is currently producing amazing hand-carved wooden bowls.
Mr. Little uses carefully selected native wood, traditional methods, and “re-claimed” wood to make unique and useful pieces of art. He will be in the Amicalola Falls State Park Lodge on Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 19th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Amicalola Falls State Park helps you stretch your budget with a low-cost parking pass and free programming. In addition to the Visiting Artist, park guests are encouraged to take advantage of regular weekend programming that includes a variety of educational and entertaining wildlife programs highlighting snakes, mammals, or birds of prey. Bring a picnic to one of the park's picnic tables and grills, or visit the Maple Restaurant, located in the Lodge, which serves delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The $3 parking pass allows you to enjoy a day of art and adventure with your family. All artist demonstrations and public programs are free of charge. For more information, call the Programming Department at 706-265-1969 or check out the State Parks website at
