Dennis at Next Stop…Decatur shared this photo from yesterday’s Decatur Arts Festival poster unveiling. From the Decatur Arts Fest website…

This year’s Arts Festival poster artwork was created by Lulu Kaufman of Cuthbert, Georgia. Her work, she says, celebrates laughter, love, nature, and life, and embraces the spirit of “girl power.”

After traveling and living all around the globe, Lulu has settled in southwest Georgia. She works in her studio on an antebellum horse farm, painting on recycled roof tin, reclaimed barn wood and old windows. Lulu travels to art shows, galleries and shops across the southeast, she says, “spreading love and sunshine.” She’s also the designer for official Jimmy Buffet tour T-shirts.

This is a pretty cool idea!  From the Decatur Arts Festival website…

New this year is a free bike valet service. A valet attendant remains on duty to park and monitor bikes during the event.

Park your bike and enjoy the festival knowing that it will remain secure. Look for signs to direct you to the bike valet area.

The Decatur Arts Festival worked with the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to provide this service. We hope to reduce the event’s impact on traffic congestion and carbon emissions by supporting the bicycle transportation alternative. The bike valet service is sponsored by Atlanta Bicycle Coalition and Bicycle South.

Both the Decatur Arts Alliance and Bicycle South are DM sponsors.  However the h/t for this bit of info goes to Next Stop…Decatur.
