ABV EAV

For the past 15 years, GREG MIKE (GM), an Atlanta-based artist and founder of ABV Gallery + Agency, has traveled the globe painting murals, serving as a creative director for clients and brands, and showcasing his artwork in galleries and museums nationwide. Known for his forward-thinking approach, GM holds a strong reputation within the Atlanta arts community. Now, in his biggest venture to date, he has expanded ABV into a stunning new creative space in East Atlanta Village.

GREG MIKE has transformed a former church on Metropolitan Avenue into a contemporary art gallery, event space, art studio, and retail store, offering expansive opportunities for artists, musicians, and brands alike.

The 8,500 square foot reimagined church now serves as an event space hosting a wide array of exhibitions and experiences, featuring the work of both local and international artists. Rotating public artwork will be showcased on the featured walls throughout the property, creating a dynamic canvas that evolves year-round.

“As an artist, when I walk into this space, my imagination runs wild. It’s been a dream of mine to build a creative epicenter where wild ideas can become a reality. After 10+ years of dreaming, concepting, and planning, it’s finally happening, and I’m excited to share it with the Atlanta art community,” says GM.

GREG MIKE is best known for his large-scale murals, which incorporate bright colors and his iconic surrealistic “LOUD” characters. His work has been featured in major cities around the world, including New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Paris, and Shanghai. Along with creating new artwork, GM continues to connect brands and clients with like-minded artists.

ABV Gallery + Agency has expanded its worldwide artist collective, now featuring over 500 artists, into a space six times larger than its previous gallery in Old Fourth Ward. With this new venue, GREG MIKE and ABV see endless possibilities for Atlanta's creative community and the broader art industry.

This exciting new chapter was made possible with the collaboration of Kronberg Urbanists + Architects, Bayard Builders, City National Bank, and SSG Realty Partners, who have helped transform the former church into its next iteration.
