Art gallery to open in downtown Decatur

Art gallery to open in downtown Decatur

A new cooperative art and artisan gallery in downtown Decatur will be feted in a grand opening ceremony tonight from 5 to 10 p.m. The emerging artists whose work is on display share space and take turns working in the Decatur Market & Gallery, located in the former Boswell Gallery at 153 Ponce de Leon Place.

The gallery will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. A small art and handcraft market will operate in front of the gallery on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5 to 10 p.m.

The gallery is the first to be opened by the Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces, a business group that puts on “Market Day,” weekly and monthly outdoor markets for artists and artisans in Atlanta, Decatur and Stone Mountain.
