June 17 – July 24, 2022
Opening Reception Friday, June 17, 6pm – 8pm
Brookhaven, GA (June 1, 2022)- srmART Connect and Explore Brookhaven are pleased to present Art Pop Up + Shop in Town Brookhaven, an exhibition/gallery of paintings, mixed media, photographs, drawings, jewelry and more by 18 + artists. The free exhibition opens June 17 and continues until July 24, 2022, with a special opening reception Friday, June 17, 6PM – 8PM.
Art advocate and consultant, Sharon Moskowitz of srmART Connect is excited to bring this opportunity to Brookhaven and to help develop the local arts and culture scene with this new creative initiative. “An art pop-up shop is a great way to network with neighbors and local businesses”, said Sharon Moskowitz. “There is incredible value in connecting and interacting with the community in-person, talking about the artwork, and generating sales and future art projects.”
Some of the featured artists include Masela Nkolo, multidisciplinary artist originally from Kinshasa, Congo, now residing in Lawrenceville. Nkolo works with old lanterns, bike wheels, oil cans, and hardware parts to create amazingly beautiful wall art and moveable “creatures” that represent the human spirit. His depictions of small animals, masks, aliens, or robots act as metaphors for human behavior.
Jaya Saxena, a Marietta based artist, uses acrylic paints, oils, pastels, and charcoal to create her works of abstracts and florals. As an artist, her goal is to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Saxena’s work is characterized by bold color, movement, and texture.
Sabre Esler, an Atlanta based artist, creates works and environments exploring the connections between emotions, thoughts, and reality. She explores human behavior through painting, sculpture, and print making. A 2020 recipient of the Atlanta Contemporary Studio Artist Award, her After the Rain art installation will be on display at the Pop Up + Shop.
The pop up will be in a currently available retail space within Town Brookhaven, located on Peachtree Road in the heart of Brookhaven. Art lovers and visitors alike are invited to enjoy this temporary gallery and take home a piece of local art.
Pop Up + Shop hours: Thursday through Saturday 11 AM – 8 PM, Sunday 12 PM – 5 PM
Location: Town Brookhaven, 804 Town Blvd Suite 1070, Atlanta, GA 30319 (next to the Cinebistro space)
Tickets to the opening reception can be purchased here: Eventbrite or at the door. The opening reception will include light bites, beer, wine, music, and artist demonstrations.
