The Work of Our Hands Artists' Market

   

 

The Work of Our Hands Artists’ Market is scheduled Nov. 21- 24 at the Cathedral of St. Philip located at 2744 Peachtree Road, Atlanta. This acclaimed market features over 80 local and regional artists offering fine art, folk art, and crafts, including paintings, glass, fabric and wood art, pottery, jewelry, sculptures, and many other handmade and original gifts in a variety of price ranges.  

An opening night reception is planned Thursday, Nov. 21, from 6:00 - 8:00.  Tickets, available at the door, are $15 per person.  Hors d’oeuvres, wine, and other beverages will be served. 

Admission to the market on Friday, Nov. 21,  through Sunday, Nov. 24, is free and open to the public.  Hours are Friday and Saturday 9:00-5:00 and Sunday 8:30-1:30. 


The Work of Our Hands is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 by the Rt. Rev. Frank K. Allan, eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.  A passionate believer in the spiritual benefits of rediscovering one’s imagination and creative gifts, Bishop Allan sought to build an organization to support art-oriented programs throughout the metro Atlanta area.  He and his wife, Elizabeth, conceived and developed the Artists' Market as a major source of funding for art programs as well as a showcase for the creative spirit that crosses all boundaries and walks of life.

Proceeds from the market benefit organizations that promote and support arts and crafts programs that serve persons marginalized by socioeconomic, mental health, and intellectual challenges.  Recent grant recipients include Emmaus House (www.emmaushouse.org ), which serves underprivileged individuals and families in the Peoplestown community and Holy Comforter Friendship Center (www.holycomforter.episcopalatlanta.org ), which serves people with mental and physical disabilities in East Atlanta.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
