Housed in a former piano warehouse, the 12,000 sq ft butler type industrial building was renovated and designed by Founder/Director Brian Holcombe. The building contained several gallery spaces, eight artist studios, and a workshop, spread over one floor. The central motivation was to create a space for immersive exhibitions in which local and international artists intersected. The gallery program was a pacesetter in the region, with a focus on installation and video works; Saltworks introduced leading national and international artists to the Atlanta community including Candice Breitz, iona rozeal brown, William Cordova, Lalla Essaydi, Meschac Gaba, Luis Gispert, Leslie Hewitt, Shin-il Kim, Conor McGrady, Michael Scoggins, Shinique Smith, and Ruben Ortiz-Torres. The gallery closed in June 2008. Saltworks Gallery reopened in November 2008, in a storefront space in the former industrial district of Atlanta’s West Midtown. The gallery mounted solo and group exhibitions with the region’s leading artists for five years at this location and closed in June 2012.
