Artist Michele Oka Doner's amazing NYC loft is a true live/work space. A pioneer during Soho's rehabilitation days, she has maintained her remarkable sense of personal style while the neighborhood around her evolved. Update: The eagle-eyed Liberty Post recognized this loft as the space used in the movie Ghost.
Only one notch lower on the cool scale is Castleberry Hill, Atlanta's hippest downtown neighborhood. Their Sixth Annual Loft Tour will be held this month and is a great opportunity to see the galleries and artists in residence of this revitalized in town neighborhood. For an example of what you might find, check out Stable 1897.

This loft tour is one of the best and if you haven't been before, go this year!
ReplyDeleteI have never been on this tour. Is it really crowded? The link says that 3,000 people attend, yet it is only 2 days for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteBA, is Stable 1897 a store too? Does Carr sell her work out of her own personal gallery? I know that she is represented by Fay Gold in Atlanta.
It is not a store, but has space for special exhibitions during Art Strolls. It usually features other local artists.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been on this tour in a few years. Maybe I'll need to revisit it. Thanks for the info :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong, but is this the loft they used in the movie 'Ghost' with Demi Moore?
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know about that--let's check it out!
ReplyDeleteIt is! What a great eye you have! I am updating my post now.
ReplyDeleteI love the floor to ceiling bookshelves! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThat hollow frisbee table is so cool!
