Join Us
Welcome to a Gordonston tradition, the hosting of juried local and regional artists and artisans in the beautiful setting of Juliette Gordon Low Park in Savannah’s historic Gordonston neighborhood. In addition to fine art and crafts for sale, the art fair will also host a gently used book sale and a plant sale with all proceeds going towards the restoration of the cottage. There will also be live music, food trucks and a children’s hands-on crafts area.
Only online applications will be accepted. The registration fee is $10.00. If accepted, the booth fee is $75.00 and must be paid upon acceptance.
Application deadline is June 30th, 2023; however, artists will be informed in a timely manner whether they have been selected so that they may plan accordingly. Although the deadline is June 30th, spaces may fill up before that time. We will close/extend submissions at our discretion. We will keep artists on a waitlist in the event spaces become available.
A Hidden Gem

Founded
Savannah’s Gordonston neighborhood was founded in 1917 in honor of William Washington Gordon III, brother of Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Gordon Low. This 80-acre tract of land is said to be the highest ground in Savannah. It was inherited by W.W. Gordon III and his siblings, whose family was earlier responsible for the establishment of the Central of Georgia Railroad. Gordonston is one of Savannah’s original streetcar suburbs as it was located on the Thunderbolt streetcar line. It now contains 238 homes built primarily in the 1920’s - 1950’s.
Dedicated Park
The six-acre Juliette Gordon Low Park was dedicated in 1926 with an endowment from its namesake. The park is fully enclosed by an iron fence whose original gates were designed and built by Juliette Gordon Low. A fund was established by her to maintain the park into perpetuity for the use of Gordonston residents and especially for its children. The park also contains a playground.
New Cottage
The cottage in the park was built in 1948 by Union Camp Corporation and donated to the Girl Scouts who have been holding meetings in it for generations. Resident-sponsored, cottage rental is available by visiting www.Gordonston.com.Be an Exhibitor
