Sometimes when I walk into a gallery I feel instantly out of place and it's like the gallery employees have already sized me up and decided that I'm neither a wealthy collector nor a fine art connoisseur.  And I look around and feel like I need a black beret and a faux French accent to fit in.  Well when I walked into Beep Beep, it was such a great vibe.  The attendant gave me a "what's up nod" and after I walked around for a while, he came over and told me a little about the gallery and about  the upcoming events, and encouraged me to sign up on the guest list for more information.  Ah, like a breath of fresh air, I felt comfortable and relaxed and ready to support the neighborhood art scene.

I made my very first "gallery" purchase at Beep Beep when they featured the solo exhibition of John Tindel--half of the well known Atlanta duo TindelMichi.  

They display a great mix of trendy, thought provoking works from up & comers. My only concern about the space--as a former museum employee--is the lack of environmental controls in the gallery space.  In the summer time they typically leave the front door open and we all know about Atlanta's humidity.  It can't be good for works on paper in particular.  Hopefully as sales & popularity grow, they'll be able to invest some capital into the space.

Great place to check out local aspiring artists in a laid back and very comfortable environment.  They usually get a pretty decently sized and eclectic crowd of people.

A very small independently run gallery on the corner of Charles Allen and Ponce, mostly featuring varied collecitons of young local artists for sale at very reasonable prices. Their shows tend to have a theme (the first one I'd been to being: robots) and offer a distinct array of interpretiation from artists of many different styles. Mixed media tends to be popular among the work they display, though I've seen others.

Both openings I've been to were well attended and nicely done, including a cheap drink bar and free snacks, which kept the people coming in to check it out.

It's nice to have a small place like this Atlanta where young unheard voices can have a forum. Hopefully it will continue on, and inspire other places open in its wake, especially in this underrated area of town.
