Located in a carriage house on Edgewood Ave in Inman Park, Whitespace is a small art gallery that…read moreshowcases some of the better local talent. I went there to see a photographic exhibition by Decatur artist Conne Thalken, who - full disclosure - is a friend. Her work is excellent, of course, but this review is for the gallery. Whitespace is inside a carriage house behind an old home near where Euclid Ave splits off Edgewood. The gallery has two medium-sized rooms designed to hang art work or host an installation. It's intimate, but still large enough for a fair-sized opening. I like the character inside the space and the Inman Park location adds considerable ambiance. It's a great place to see art. Parking is not abundant with but a few spaces inside the grounds. If attending an opening, you'll need to park on the street, which isn't a big problem in this area.

Following a small plan for "project Valentina yelps about art galleries in the ATL," here's my…read moresecond review on the subject matter! In this opportunity I'm going to talk about Whitespace, my favorite art gallery in Atlanta! Whitespace was founded by art facilitator and connoisseur Susan Bridges, and it's a gem of Atlanta's cultural life. Not only because it's "a unique art venue which represents emerging and established contemporary artists," as they describe the gallery in their website, but also because their whole space is gorgeous and refined, without being snobbish or pretentious. Every time I plan to go there, I know I'm going to see interesting and carefully curated artwork, while having a wonderful time enjoying both the featured pieces and the place. Whitespace is a delightful cluster of bricks shaped by a front/side garden-patio, a spectacular 1893 house and what I consider a demi-house --where several rooms graciously host the artwork. I strongly recommend you pretty ladies and keen gentlemen interested in the arts, to keep informed of their fun openings through their website http://www.whitespace814.com/. If you catch a form, a color palette, a medium that thrills you, and the opening date related to all previously mentioned and attend it, join their mailing list by signing up in their reception. By the by, their openings are usually FABULOUS celebrations. Back in July 2007, they had a show featuring womanhood through the figure of Frida Khalo (Viva La Frida), where they showcased painting, photography, sculpture (featuring a very impressive cake-sculpture that was eaten afterward), performance and video. The party they put together for the opening included a beautiful candlelit flower altar that welcomed the public, right next to a chic "margarita" open bar, some delicious ouer d'oeuvres, and a burlesque live show by Atlanta's cabaret dancers the Dames AFlames (hot stuffff! http://www.damesaflame.com/peek2.htm). It was great and multilayered. I'm sure it'll be always great, and that they will have plenty of superb, five-star exhibits throughout the year!

My friend and I decided we wanted to do something different than dinner for our hang out session…read more.. so we decided to try tufting! Here are my thoughts: Location - The location is spacious and cute instead, reminds me of an art gallery. Parking - this is where it gets confusing, its in a small space but parking was confusing for me. I recommend coming earlier to find parking. My favorite thing was the was that the instructor made sure each of us knew what we were doing before having us doing it on our own. I also loved the music while we worked. I would come back! It was very easy and relaxing!

I had NO idea what tufting was before this. Came with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday and…read moreit was the perfect event. We were a group of several couples so each couple created 1 rug ($75 per couple). That worked great for us, I think it would have taken us longer for each individual to make one, and it allowed us to use teamwork. You start off with a short safety demo and a chance for everyone to quickly practice. Beforehand they send you template options so you know what you're creating. They also let you send a custom design which is what I did. This was such a fun new experience! Once you get going it's pretty relaxing. You will need to return in a few days to pick up your finished rug. FYI, you can't see any signage from the street, but it's right next to the ice cream shop. Parking: paid street parking and a few paid spots right in front of the business.

She got my guest and I all situated for our Art class and gave us complimentary glasses of wine and appetizers(yes! classy) lol They also don't mind if you bring your own bottle(s) of wine to enjoy while you are there! The art class was very relaxing and the instructor was very knowledgeable but free-minded. If you ever have a chance...definitely go check this place out! It's a great idea for a date night with your significant other or just a cool place to go check out! Everything on the walls is for sale if you really happen to like a piece.

I especially enjoyed the mix of contemporary and classic works, and the building itself is beautiful with plenty of natural light. We visited on a weekend afternoon and found it busy but still comfortable to navigate. There were plenty of benches throughout for taking a break and really appreciating the artwork. I'd recommend this for a date, solo afternoon, or when you have visitors in town. My biggest tip would be to check the special exhibitions before your visit since they can be a major highlight. Definitely one of Atlanta's gems.

I didn't…read moreknow what to expect when a friend of mine mentioned going here to chill and do some painting. Upon arriving the owner warmly welcomed us and then explained what Healium was about: an atmosphere free to play and rejuvenate, essentially. For the painting sessions, you have a choice to paint on a canvas, bottle, or tile plate. To paint it was $10 for the supplies, discount or free if you donated wine or art supplies. The painting sessions aren't lead by anything, there is a base inspiration for the day that you can draw from, but the idea is really to have fun, try not to be overly serious, and just painting. Let go, sort of experience. There are also guided meditations and food toward the back of Healium. I don't go participate in a lot of meditation sessions, so it was really interesting to finally experience a singing bowl for an extended period of time. The open gallery showcases local work from staff and other artists all with either a fantastical theme or meditative spirit in mind. Healium seems to focus a lot on exploration of the soul and letting that blossom. It's also a safe atmosphere to do so. We ended up painting and painting til the place closed up, and still painting. So much for serious? Or maybe just having too much fun.

I visited here to attend a singing bowl concert. The owners are warm, welcoming, wonderful people; the Healium Center reflects the care they've put into this place.

They also host meditations lead by Donna, in an exquisite, eclectic black light room. They also have open jam sessions on Wednesday. I felt so at home, it's unreal. This is an 18+ venue, and they also serve food and drink on certain days as well. Please check this place out. Will I be back??? Of course I will. I absolutely love the Healium Center and you will too!
