The gallery opened in 1978 under the aegis of the city’s Office of Cultural Affairs to exhibit contemporary art by local and national artists. It’s located within two Neo-Classical buildings constructed between 1901 and 1911 that were originally almshouses. Both were designed by Thomas Henry Morgan, known as the ‘Dean of Atlanta’s architects.’ - Kevin C. Madigan
