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.

Over the summer, local movie mogul Tyler Perry was filming “The Oval” at his studios in southwest Atlanta. We didn’t quite know what “The Oval” was about, but now we do.
“The Oval” trailer was debuted online as part of the launch of BET Plus, a new streaming service.
Atlanta-filmed ‘The Oval’ to debut on BET Plus
The subscription service will exclusively stream “The Oval,” which is one of two new shows that Perry has created for BET.
Just like Atlanta’s population, BET Plus will cater largely to African-Americans.
“African Americans are the leading consumers of streaming services, with higher SVOD adoption rates than other consumers, which is why we’re so excited to launch a premium product for this underserved audience,” Scott Mills, president of BET Networks said in a statement.
He adds: “BET+ is a natural extension of BET’s linear network, which has been the leading home of black culture for decades. Our curated catalog and original programming will keep the BET+ content offering fresh, fueling subscriber growth, viewership and retention.”
Perry, a playwright and actor in his own right, said in a statement that he is fully aware of his audience.
“I’ve paid attention to my audience and what works for them and, for that reason, I’m very excited not only about the idea of partnering with BET to create new and exciting content, but also about the idea of giving people a personalized experience through the ability to curate the content they love to consume.”

“The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” Season 12 cast group photo caused a stir on social media. Many fans are saying this is the best group photo they ever took.
Season 12 premieres November 3, 2019 at 8 ET / 7 central. Here’s what to know about RHOA Season 12.
Real Housewives Of Atlanta Season 12: What to know
Here is the cast for RHOA Season 12 as far as we know:
- Nene Leakes
- Kenya Moore
- Cynthia Bailey
- Eva Marcille
- Kandi Burruss
- Porsha Williams
It’s still not clear who will have recurring roles, but Bravo TV always signs a number of people that will have minor or supporting roles and plotlines.
A noticeable absence to longtime fans is Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Sherri Whitfield. Both of the former castmembers have returned for minor plots, but have not been welcomed back fully since their first few contracts.
Other minor players like Marlo Hampton will likely continue to be a sidekick with considerable screentime.
As we all know, Kenya Moore is returning after taking some time off to have a family.
Nene Leakes is also back after spending an extended time away to focus on show business.
Kandi Burruss is back taping while juggling recurring role on Showtime’s “The Chi” and handling the success of a soul food restaurant.
Atlanta reality TV shows showcase the best and worst of the city, but they have a following unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times.

She’s been busy promoting her Yelle skincare line, which is made for people of color.

Cardi B has lived in a Buckhead mansion for a short while with her husband, Offset, who is from Lawrenceville. Now the family has moved into another mansion in Atlanta.
Cardi B confirmed the move in a series of tweets about her success, critical acclaim and awards.
“On my album I showed different sides of me. From my intro talking about my pass.To living my best life inspiring people.Relationship songs while I was going thru my own relationship drama to shaking ass like Bodak & that ASS .Every song went platinum!”

“I did it all while I was pregnant,” she tweeted. “Throwing up, drowsy,terrible colds and in a rush to finish it so I can start doing music videos before I started showing .I spend 24 hours for months sleeping on a couch with my pregnant depressed ass in a studio.”
She then shared that she was filled with anxiety about how fans would react to her pregnancy.
“I wasn’t even thinking of winning or even the Grammies. All I can think about was …everybody is disappointed in me, am I still going to have a career after this baby? Is this album going to make me or break me? I need to finish before I start showing.”
“All while I just separated from my long time manager,” she said. “I had to get my husband to talk to my label cause I never had a relationship with them so we all came together to relocate me to Atlanta and Miami to finish my album before my stomach start showing.”
She then revealed that Offset had to ask artists to give Cardi a feature on their song.
“When i kept seeing the certifications of the songs going gold or platinum I was so excited cause my husband was out here asking everybody for a feature on my behalf so the ones that said yes thank you from the bottom of my heart cause TRUST ME ALOT OF ARTIST SAID NO!”
When I won Nipsey said on a comment to me WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME! Now when I speak to upcoming artist or people who ask me for advice I tell them the same thing ! WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME and when it comes don’t let nobody take that special moment away from you !
