Bill Lowe Gallery - Bill Lowe Gallery announces the opening of its spectacular new permanent location on August 1, 2008. The new gallery is located in Atlanta’s recently minted “Uptown” district. Standing at the gateway with Buckhead to the North and Midtown to the South, this unique location is positioned at Peachtree St., Spring St., and West Peachtree. Atlanta’s high Southern culture and history intersect here with its foremost institutions of media, commerce, finance, education, and the arts, including The High Museum, Woodruff Arts Centre, Ansley Park, Savannah College of Design, The Temple, Peachtree Christian Church, WSB-TV and Invesco.

Designed by the internationally renowned architecture firm Gensler & Associates, the new multilevel facility is defined by its architecturally-provocative interiors. The gallery features soaring 22 foot ceilings, a grand salon with a wrap-around mezzanine, a cat-walk bridge, connecting promenade salons, and a number of smaller, more intimate galleries. The design of the space encourages guests to explore its interiors, and ultimately, engage its art.
