The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival celebrates 15 years...
With 15 years of experience producing the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival, we know what resonates with our audience and what helps vendors succeed. Our attendees are drawn to products that are visually appealing, culturally rooted, high quality, and easy to connect with, items that reflect identity, artistry, wellness, style, and story. That is why the ABTF Black Art and Small Business Expo is thoughtfully curated to create a vibrant, welcoming marketplace for both vendors and festivalgoers.
We invite vendors whose products are:
-
Visually compelling
-
Culturally connected
-
High quality
-
Easy to enjoy, wear, use, or gift
-
Memorable and marketable
At ABTF, we know what stands out, what sells, and what creates a strong experience for everyone involved. We are committed to building an expo that celebrates the excellence, authenticity, and economic power of Black business, and we warmly welcome vendors who are ready to share products our community will love.
