After 33 years of renting a building on East Shadowlawn Avenue in Buckhead, Jackson Fine Art has made a leap just across the street to a new location. I recently had the opportunity to meet with Executive Director Anna Walker Skillman and got a sneak peek into their new digs as well as the vibrant inaugural exhibition opening there this Friday.
The new 4,000-square foot gallery space features large windows that let in tons of natural light, three distinct exhibition spaces on the main floor, office space, and kitchenette. Upstairs is their conference area, a full kitchen, library, plenty of storage, plus spaces dedicated to packing and shipping artwork. The space retains a home-like ambiance that allows for an upscale and elevated but still comfortable atmosphere inside. Light wood floors and bright white walls serve as an ideal backdrop to showcase incredible art such as the current exhibition featuring the works of Cooper & Gorfer, Sheila Pree Bright, and Francesca Woodman.
