New Brookhaven Artist Juggles Passion, Job

Christy Murray, featured photographer, shares the ups and downs of being a new artist.

It's not easy being a new artist, and for Christy Murry juggling her day job as an administrative assistant and her passion for capturing daily life though her lens, is hardly a cakewalk. But she loves it. Featuring mostly traditional scenes from nature and objects in a guerrilla-style manner, she rarely stages scenes or edit photos.

She focuses on capturing interesting colors and textures that attract the eye, sometimes even finding unique and rare objects in the process. Although involved in the art industry for years volunteering with Brookhaven Arts Alliance, Murray only recently begun her brief, but prolific career as a …

Brookhaven Art Gallery Opens in September

Exciting Photography Exhibition showing at the new gallery in Town Brookhaven through October.

Brookhaven Art Alliance (BAA) will open a temporary art gallery in Town Brookhaven on Sept. 23. The Brookhaven Art Gallery will present the photography exhibition, On Edge: Beyond Editorial, curated by Denise Jackson and in combination with Atlanta Celebrates Photography.  Although only temporary, the opening of this new gallery in Brookhaven is a huge step for BAA. Successfully achieving this goal could bring the community closer to obtaining a permanent gallery for patrons. This would bump up programming for BAA from two annual events to year-round exhibitions. It would also provide art culture and education into the community for Brookhaven residents and visitors. It may even encourage local artists to show more work and get involved …
