ABV EAV
NOW OPEN IN East Atlanta Village
For the last 15 years, Atlanta-based artist GREG MIKE (GM), founder of ABV Gallery + Agency, has traveled the globe painting murals, serving as a creative director for major brands, and showcasing his artwork in galleries and museums nationwide. GM has established a long-standing reputation in the Atlanta arts community for his forward-thinking approach, blending art, design, and culture. In 2024, he opened his biggest venture to date: the new ABV Gallery, located in East Atlanta Village.
GREG MIKE purchased a former church on Metropolitan Avenue and transformed it into a contemporary art gallery, event space, art studio, and retail store. This newly reimagined 8,500 square foot space now offers expansive creative opportunities for artists, musicians, and brands alike, making it a unique destination for cultural experiences.
The venue will serve as a platform for a vast array of events and exhibitions, showcasing the work of both local and international artists. Featured walls throughout the property act as blank canvases for rotating public artwork throughout the year, continuously evolving with new creative expressions.
"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," said GM. "After more than a decade of dreaming, concepting, and planning, it’s finally happening, and I’m beyond excited to share it with the Atlanta art community."
GREG MIKE is best known for his large-scale murals, which incorporate bright colors and his iconic surrealist “LOUD” characters. His work has been featured in cities across the globe, including New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Paris, and Shanghai. He continues to create new artwork while connecting brands and clients with like-minded artists through ABV.
With the opening of this new space, ABV is expanding its worldwide artist collective, which now includes over 500 artists. Moving from their previous location in the Old Fourth Ward, the new gallery in East Atlanta Village is six times larger, allowing GREG MIKE and ABV to push the boundaries of what’s possible for Atlanta’s creative industry.
Kronberg Urbanists + Architects, Bayard Builders, City National Bank, and SSG Realty Partners played key roles in transforming the former church into its next iteration—an innovative and dynamic space where imagination meets reality.
