Though we’ll miss former Spruill Art Center exhibitions director Julia Fenton, we’re excited to ring in the reign HOPE COHN. We love that she pulled together last spring’s Breaking New Ground in a matter of weeks, assembling artists and ideas at a moment’s notice, even having a new room built onto the facility to house some of the works. We’re also looking forward to the construction due to begin on Cohn’s watch, which will expand the organization’s facilities by several thousand square feet. These are exciting times for the out-of-the-way space. And no, we didn’t miss the apt symbolism of Sarah Emerson’s new mural gracing the gallery grounds – a cresting wave in a bright sea. less...

Inside a converted carriage house on Edgewood, Susan Bridges’ Inman Park gallery WHITESPACE has been supporting and showcasing local talent since its inception in October 2006, and we felt it was high time to make note. In the past 12 months, Mehmet Dogu’s Gallery Light Rug, John Otte’s Seen | Unseen and Fereydoon Family’s Stepping Blind have been outstanding contributions to the local art scene. We love the gallery’s thoughtful presentation and abundant respect for these lesser-known artists with big minds and big ambitions. less...

With or without the Beijing Olympics, all eyes in the post-American century are destined to turn to China. KIANG GALLERY, with its wide and deep commitment to art by Chinese artists, is bound to be where it’s at in the next decade. While some of the names on the Kiang roster are likely to be unknown locally, many are beginning to register seismically on the international scene. We’re paying special attention to Danwen Xing, Sze Tsung Leong and relative newcomer Fang Er. Kiang’s smart installations and remarkable curatorial eye are just what the Dirty South needs to take a virtual trip to the Dirty East. So long, New York! Cheerio, London! Next stop for the art world: Beijing. less...

YOUNG BLOOD GALLERY has stepped it up on the national art front, mixing visiting artists with local talent that gives patrons a more comprehensive taste of what’s going on in the lowbrow art scene. The gallery’s well-curated boutique demonstrates its dedication to nurturing the local craft scene. It also hosts the Kraftwork event, where artists gather on the first Thursday of each month to sell their work. With a move to a new location in the works, we’re dying to see what this little-gallery-that-could pulls out of its bag of tricks next. less...

The BEEP BEEP GALLERY is a thumbnail-size storefront on Ponce de Leon Avenue’s dividing line between drug dealers and house-proud yuppies. A fresh new voice on the arts scene, the space has just celebrated its first year of existence and has made its mark with affordable art by often very emerging artists. The vibe is shaggy-cool for the YouTube and MySpace generation. Fans of the gallery’s unique countercultural groove can look forward to shows spotlighting Atlanta graffiti artists Born and Hense and a photography show to coincide with October’s Atlanta Celebrates Photography. less...

Romo Gallery
The tiny, adventurous ROMO GALLERY in Castleberry Hill consistently surprises — and sometimes confounds — visitors with its mix of emerging and established artists, and local and national talent. Its exhibition of L.A.-based artist Jennifer Celio was a standout this year.
