Overview The Atlanta Art Fair is a four-day gallery fair for the American South at Pullman Yards, a historic campus in Kirkwood, and the gallery list for its third edition in 2026 reached from Korea, Spain and Uganda. In 2025 it brought 75 local, national and international galleries and arts organizations. It is produced by Art Market Productions, which also runs the San Francisco Art Fair, the Seattle Art Fair and Art on Paper in New York. In 2025 Kelly Freeman was fair director and Nato Thompson artistic director, with Tim and Dirk von Gal, founders of the Intersect fair group, as Atlanta advisors. On site Gallery booths fill the Pullman Yards buildings, with talks, performances, theater programming and installations set among them. The fair also curates its own shows: in 2025 Melissa Messina's Third Ear, Second Skin gathered sculpture by Krista Clark, Sonya Yong James and Vadis Turner, and Lauren Jackson Harris curated a Black Women in Visual Arts stand; the 2026 program lists Low Grit Grins, with Georgia artists Antonio Darden, Victoria Dugger and Tori Tinsley. AMP builds its fair lounges with designers such as Ken Fulk and BoConcept. Audience Opening night carries a large share of the week: about a quarter of 2025's visitors, 3,500 people, came through the VIP preview and opening. A Select VIP program takes collectors to events around town, and in 2025 an art writing and publishing symposium at Ponce City Market and a one-night show at the Goat Farm ran the same week. Track record The fair opened in 2024, and its 2025 edition drew 1,500 more visitors than the first. The Balentine Prize for Southern artists began in 2025: galleries nominate works, a jury picks the winners, and the winning pieces enter the Balentine Collection; the 2026 jury was Nato Thompson, Mark Bell and Melissa Messina. Vanity Fair, The Art Newspaper, Artsy and Forbes have covered the fair. Brand presence Partners come in as title or presenting partner of the fair or with an on-site footprint. The top positions carry naming rights, dedicated activation space on the floor, product built into the fair's programs, sampling, VIP lounges and private areas, use of the fair's marks and hospitality packages. Balentine's name is on the prize.
