Pop Smart - It”s raining indie

A kind of virtual gallery, considering how it’s being launched by former Atlantans who now all live in New York and Washington, D.C., Opal Gallery at 484 Moreland Ave. is perched in alt-heaven. It’s next door to A Cappella Books, a stone’s throw from Criminal Records and Aurora Coffee, day job and exhibition space to many Atlanta artists.
For its Feb. 5 (6-8 p.m.) opening, Opal will feature the work of NYC-based photographer and UGA grad Christy Bush, whose Soundtrack to Nothing documents teenage indie-rock fans.
I can’t wait to check out the space.
