7th ANNUAL RAD Studio Cruise

Take a studio cruise through the ever expanding Rail Arts District! Six anchor studios along with dozens of individual artist studio locations will host live demonstrations, performances, exhibits and art sales from painting, pottery, glasswork and paper arts to photography, sculpture, jewelry, fiber arts and more.

Downtown Avondale Estates will feature two major locations hosting special events. The Market Events building in Tudor Square will be open (formally the Academy Theater). Sample artisanal foods and beverages, and enjoy the popular Root City Market that will set up its spring pop-up shop in this location. Avondale Mayor Ed Rieker will be on hand to discuss the remarkable re-development plans that will transform this area. Additionally, the charming Towne Cinema in the city’s Tudor Village will be open to the public for the first time in years and will offer free music performances by DeKalb School of the Arts students and visual art on display.

The free, open-to-the-public event will offer FREE trolley service between participating venues. The artist studios are located in buildings along a stretch of CSX rails running through Avondale Estates, Scottdale and (East) Decatur.
