Young Blood Gallery & Boutique

Young Blood Gallery and Boutique is the foremost independent showcase in Atlanta for emerging artists and Do-It-Yourself crafters. Young Blood was born in 1997 in the home of Maggie White and Kelly Teasley when the two grew tired of the Atlanta art gallery establishment’s refusal to exhibit incredibly talented – though unknown – local artists. Young Blood expanded its space in January of 2003 when White and Teasley converted studio space beside the gallery into a shop featuring items that are hand made or designed by artists. In the past decade the gallery has introduced Atlantans to hundreds of up-and-coming artists whose works are now collected and sought-after around the country. In May of 2008, Young Blood re-located and expanded into a larger and more accessible space in the Poncey-Highlands district. With art openings the first Saturday of each month, and Kraftwork, a crafts market featuring handmade merchandise crafted by rising designers and artists on the first Thursday of each month, Young Blood gives Atlantans the chance to find creations that can be found no where else.
