Atlanta steps into the art market spotlight
Briefly

"Talking to the local galleries and curators, the thing that always keeps coming up is this sense of community, like 'Atlanta is in this together.' We need to make sure that we're supporting each other, developing this next generation of collectors and teaching people what's available in Atlanta ... the one thing that I can offer is this centralised platform."
"The inaugural fair will host around 60 galleries, about 25% of which are local to the Atlanta area, though dealers are travelling from as far as South Korea to get in on the action. It comes at a crucial time for Atlanta's art market, as the city's population surges and the art scene gets more and more national attention."
"This year's AAW will host an MFA show for students, which dealers and advisors credit for helping to centralise Atlanta's art scene and bring the city into focus to garner more national attention."
