I have heard of the apartment galleries, mainly the ones activated in Chicago. New York Times posted an article Is It Their Art or Their Shoes? about this phenomenon in the city of New York - making your own apartment into a gallery. What is so invigorating about this idea is that you can support the emerging artists whose work is not market-oriented.
Sarah Gavlak, a gallerist of Art Nest (photos above), indeed is pulling off her daily living space into something beyond - sophistication in her taste of aesthetics and intermingling of her life and curatorial vision. Alex Gartenfeld and Piper Marshall (photo below) also seem to enjoy their space - and look so chilled and inspired.
One day, one day... when I can afford a living space of my own, I shall open a gallery. And I will invite you all to an art opening! And yes, Atlanta, let's do more of this... wouldn't something like this allow us to be a bit more daring, witty, adventurous, and interesting?
