Decatur Market & Gallery


Click on photo for info.
The Decatur Market & Gallery opened its doors on Oct. 3, 2008 as a new co-operative venue for emerging artists and unique artisans of Georgia. The gallery is located in the former Boswell Gallery space at 153 Ponce de Leon Place, Decatur GA 30030. The location is close to Cafe Lilly, Cake & Ale, Natalie's Fish House and Sushi Ave., just one block from the Old Courthouse Square in the "walking district" of the city. Each artist and artisan works in the gallery one day per month so that visitors are constantly greeted by an artist, not a sales person. Artists share space, "floor duty" and participate in special events supporting the Decatur and metro Atlanta arts community. The Gallery has a natural theme and warmth to showcase the mostly self-taught artists and artisans. Guests will view modern abstract paintings, palette knife paintings, landscapes, mixed media, as well as handcrafted mosaic, jewelry, pottery and textiles."


"The Market operates each Friday and Saturday evening (weather permitting) in front of the gallery. Vendors offer handcrafted jewelry, artwork, even baked goods. The Market operates separately from the gallery, but the gallery remains open while the market is held. Restaurant patrons in the area enjoy shopping in the evening, and finding unique gifts handcrafted by local artists.

Artists and artisans who are interested in participating in the Market may send a message to the Gallery on the Contact Us page or call 404-377-0755. There is a nominal participation fee. Tents, weights, and power are provided. Space is limited."
