Vinings Gallery on Canton

Like the impressive mix of nationally recognized and emerging artists featured on its walls, Vinings Gallery is a true original – a place where a passion and enthusiasm for great art is contagious.

Walk through the doors and enjoy a soul-quenching glass of wine on canvas with America’s pre-eminent painter of wine, Thomas Arvid, a quiet stroll through the French countryside with impressionist, JalinePol, an evening out on the town with adventurous cityscape painter Michael Flohr, or listen to the musical soul of resident artist and gallery co-owner Denard Stalling, who you may find at an easel painting in the front window or creating a custom hand-made frame in the back. For those who agree with Aristotle, who long ago said, “The soul never thinks without a picture,” there’s plenty to stir the spirit at Vinings Gallery, a recently expanded artistic hotspot in the burgeoning Atlanta art scene.

The soul of Vinings Gallery is found not only in its growing palette of more than 30 of the world’s most sought after and emerging artists, but also in its small, close-knit staff of three. Gary Handler, one of the country’s leading art consultants and artist representatives, and Stalling, whose musically themed still life images have struck a cord with collectors nationwide, opened Vinings Gallery in December 1999. “We started with a blank canvas seven years ago and have worked hard to turn the gallery into a special place that brings together the best of the best,” explains Stalling.

With two locations now in Roswell, one on Canton Street and one on Elizabeth Way, the sister galleries offer a wide array of contemporary fine art and a low key, no pressure shopping experience.
