“We are so excited about the growth that we have seen from each event in our Art Market series, and always look forward to sharing these talented individuals with the community,” said Charlene Mathis, manager of the Last Stop Gift Shop and Rome-Floyd Visitor Center. “Our customers this year are in for a real treat with the expanded variety of vendors that we have in this year’s Spring Art Market.”
