The evening of Friday, Nov. 8 was a historic night in downtown Atlanta. That’s the night the FreeMarket Art Gallery opened and was christened by artists and observers.
FreeMarket Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition titled “In This Moment” made its debut. The art show, which focuses on exploring the possibilities of life, features works from artists such as Bernadine Mortimer, Phil Harris, Cam Schott, Angie Jerez and Elliot Liss.
FreeMarket Arts Gallery Makes Heroic Debut In Downtown Atlanta
The contemporary art gallery is located on Pryor Road right in the middle of Underground Atlanta, which makes it part of the area’s re-emergence.
As the crowed swelled, AtlantaFi.com got to talk to Parsa Behnamiri and Matt Daniels, the proprietors of the art gallery.
Matt says downtown Atlanta was a deliberate choice for FreeMarket because of its cultural significance.
“South downtown Atlanta is historic,” he said. “There’s a lot of culture down here and it’s in a place that needs to be re-activated and working with WRS (the developer) has been a great opportunity for us to be a part of that movement and the re-establishment of south downtown and Underground.”
FreeMarket will be a warm and inclusive space for artists to gather and show off their creations, Parsa said.
“Our vision for FreeMarket is that it’s a space that welcomes people of all stripes in an environment where people can love and appreciate art,” Parsa added.
“We’ve been very fortunate in working with WRS (the developer) and Undeground Atlanta in finding this wonderful space right here on Pryor Road,” Parsa said.
Photo credit: Atlantafi.com FreeMarket also has plans to eventually become a regional and national space for contemporary art events and exhibition hub for creators.
“I can tell you that the future looks like a lot more than just exhibition openings,” Parsa says. “We’re going to be trying to create an art scene and an art culture for all Atlantans.”
Where Is FreeMarket Art Gallery Located?
The FreeMarket art space is located at 86 Pryor St. SW Atlanta, Ga. 30303. Here is a map to help you find it.
