Arts in the Heart 2010
The Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival, now in its 30th year, is a 2 ½ day event featuring visual, performing, and literary arts, while showcasing Augusta's diverse ethnic and cultural heritage.
Brazil is the featured country for 2010. Brazil has expanded their culinary display and will be bringing in the

Bhaskar will also be discussing his book featuring photography from the Brazilian Amazon. The festival features a global food village, with cuisine from over 35 different countries, a fine arts and crafts market with over 100 artist's booths, and four stages with over 40 performances. The Children's Area provides FREE hands-on art experiences for more than 3000 kids.
The fine arts and crafts market includes artists such as Fred Fisher who specializes in fish rubbings, Georgia folk-artist Kay Edenfield, and local potter Betsey Borgatti.
The Arts in the Heart of Augusta festival serves as an economic engine driving over 70,000 people to downtown Augusta each September. Visit artsintheheart.com for more information!
