The exhibit showcases some of Atlanta's finest with high quality, affordable work. The gallery space is intimate but definitely large enough to move around and mingle. The owners are awesome and super enthusiastic about the College Park neighborhood and growing the art scene there. You should definitely check this place out. I know it will be on our regular rotation and I look forward to upcoming shows!

Paper Plane Gallery is a new gallery in historic College Park. It created a buzz when announced,…read moreprobably because the College Park/Hapeville/East Point area is home to a ton of artists... painters, writers, graphic designers, photographers, those who work in film, etc. The grand opening, held on June 9, 2016, justified the buzz... tons of neighbors on hand, and I for one met a lot of folks for the first time. Several said they lived within 3-4 blocks of the gallery, but I hadn't met them before despite living in College Park for 19 years... I guess that's what good art does, it can bring people together. The current exhibit, comprising works by artists from Atlanta to Portland, is vibrant, with a wide range of styles. The prices are affordable. Credit to the owner for curating a space that feels cozy - it's a smallish room - and presents the artwork in nice light. I expect to be back often.

I drive from Atlanta to Tyrone to have art framed. Greg, the owner, is so talented. He has a…read morepassion for art and will work with you until you have the best possible combination of mat and frames. He has a great eye. The prices are more than reasonable. Greg can frame anything and everything -- loves a challenge. I would give him 10 stars. There are wonderful works displayed in the gallery and I confess to buying a couple of pieces when I promised myself that I was only going for framing.

The owners truly seem to enjoy not just the art, but the individuals behind the art and the customers looking at the art. They can tell you about the artists and the pieces with stories that make you want to own then all. The gallery's permanent collection was hold for the nature photography exhibit (which is amazing and raises money for some great local charities), but is very accessible and SO eclectic. Be it oil paintings, modern art or multi-media, this husband and wife team have you covered. We'll be back!

Look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in town.

Reeds custom framing is beyond exceptional. Kori helped me with a special piece that my family…read moreholds near and dear. In April we lost a brother unexpectedly. It took a months for me to bring it to the shop to be made into a memory frame. (I don't know the correct term) From there Kori sat down and went over every little with me. Throughout the entire process she kept me up to date, and involved. When it was time to pick it up I walked through the door.... There it was. Displayed beautifully to see above the fireplace. The tears were instant. Kori created something I couldn't have dreamed of. Her love and compassion for her work and customers is out of this world!! I will continue to bring everything to Reed's framing because you will never be disappointed!

This was such a lovely experience overall, and absolutely worth five stars -- not because…read moreeverything was perfect, but because it changed my mom's mind about something she's disliked for years. She had gone to a similar painting event in the past and had a terrible experience, so I really had to push her to go this time. I was honestly shocked when she said, "I actually had fun." That alone made the night five stars for me. The artist was incredibly kind, sweet, and personable. While I do wish she had spent a little more time demonstrating brush techniques and offering help to beginners, she created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The music was a bit loud, but it added to the lively vibe. We also made candles during our visit -- a total five-star process. The instructions were clear, the scents were so fun to explore, and it felt like a creative, sensory adventure. Some of the candle label stickers were unavailable, which was a little disappointing, but probably beyond the business's control. This small business is absolutely worth supporting. You can feel how much love, creativity, and heart fills the space. As a nurse, I especially appreciated the painting on the wall honoring healthcare workers -- such a thoughtful touch. Best part? My mom actually wants to come back. And that means everything.

This spot is in the basement of 48 Main Street, under The Walking Dead store and next to the Walking Dead museum. They have costumes you can dress up in for character photos or you can browse their gift shop of Walking Dead merchandise or most importantly THEIR WALLS OF ART!! They have incredibly unique Walking Dead themed art (with a little Groot and Game of Thrones thrown in for spice) on canvas, cardstock or post cards. I loved browsing and chatting with the owner!

So I love Groupon and I'm always looking for things that my sisters and I can enjoy here in Atlanta. I came across a deal for the Brush Up and Wine Down. Very reasonable for 2 people and a few hours of fun! We arrived and we're greeted by all the ladies eagerly waiting to paint. It was set up outside and it was a very nice day which was perfect. They had music and Wine to enjoy. All the art supplies were provided. Great Hostess. You are given a plain canvas that has a stencil that has the item you are going paint outlined. Now it's time to paint. At the end we take pictures and get to take our masterpieces home. Lol. We all took our time mixing and matching colors, laughing, talking, and sipping wine. All in all - Very fun for a girls day. I will definitely do this again.
