Atlanta has become many things to many people in the last few years, a movie mecca, a real estate capital, even must-visit place for Southern cuisine, but it has yet to fully embrace its artsy side.
Art buyers have historically had to trek up to the Northeast or even out west to find fine art worthy of their homes and offices. But entrepreneur Connie Zerden has set out to change that.
Zerden, the founder of Art Buckhead, is launching a pop-up art show on November 2-3 on Miami Circle. Art Buckhead will feature a curated selection of artists chosen, unusually, for their stylistic differences. “Typically, gallery shows focus on a specific style,” says Zerden, “which results in buyers running all over town to shop art. Art Buckhead, in contrast, provides exceptional talent in a range of styles, all in one stop.”
The artists were chosen from various backgrounds, including art education and museum fields. Emerging artists were chosen through a blind submission process. “Think of it like watching The Voice,” Zerden says in a press release. “An artist’s age, looks, and background should not impact their success. Talent should impact their success, period.”
Zerden knows how to put on a show. In a former life, Zerden served as vice president at Showtime Networks. Her love of art motivated her to accept the challenge of finding out why many of her friends bypassed the Atlanta market when looking for art.
“It makes no sense that Atlanta is not a “first stop” for art. We have SCAD turning out world-class talent; we have the High, yet we do not have a reputation as an art powerhouse. That needs to change.”
Aside from one artist, all the others come from around ATL, she said. “The goal is for this show to grow every year, providing more and more opportunity for artists and collectors from throughout the U.S. to view Atlantaas an art destination.”
Art Buckhead is an independent art show held at Park Studios, 690 Miami Circle NE, Suite 600, Atlanta, GA 30324.
Opening Reception: November 2, 5pm to 8pm
Gallery Hours: November 3, 10am to 2pm

A new dining + retail development that recalls the greatness of French culture has opened its doors this week inside the Common Ground development along the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail. Bazati offers patrons the feel of a chic hotel lobby along with The Brasserie, an eatery evoking 1920s Paris.
Joining 2 Urban Licks and New Realm Brewery, Bazati is a 7,000-square-foot space with a Parisian Brasserie featuring shops, books, flowers, wine and more.
Appealing to tourists and Atlantans alike, Bazati will feature specialty shops for travel-minded visitors to find unique items only available in Georgia. Among the offerings will be flowers from The Fleur Shop, books from TASCHEN, artisanal Yucatecan textiles from Taller Maya, leather goods from Blumarino, handcrafted sunglasses from Bamboo Life and more.
“We’re so pleased to be opening at such an exciting time for the BeltLine,” said partner/owner Scott Wilkins. “We’re bringing a truly authentic French experience to Atlanta with The Brasserie, and Bazati will offer unique gifts and collectibles that simply can’t be found elsewhere, including online.”
The Common Ground development is a grand warehouse with an airy and contemporary feel that exemplifies the new dynamics of Atlanta’s architecture.
