Atlanta's pb&j gallery is one of the city's premiere galleries for contemporary
art. The gallery focuses on four primary media: photography, painting, collage
and sculpture. The gallery was founded in April 2007 by Bob Burkhardt and his
partner Jack Simonetta. Both artists' work is shown in the gallery as is their
good friend Peggy Dana. The collective artists creates the namesake of the pb&j
gallery.
The mission of pb&j gallery is to showcase the work of an array of artists and give
emerging collectors the opportunity to find affordable contemporary works of art. "Many of our customers live in the local area of the gallery and are young
families," says Burkhardt. "They're looking for high quality, affordable prices
as they build their personal collections."
Burkhardt has had a 30-year corporate career as a graphic designer. A self-taught
photographer, his work includes landscapes that often reflect familiar sites in and
around the Atlanta area. A frequent visitor to Provincetown, MA, his work also
portrays seascapes of the popular destination.
Other artists are also represented in the gallery and help to complement the work of
the gallery principles. One such artist is photographer, Robert Simmons, whose work
is typically more contemporary in nature.
The gallery offers work for anyone's budget. Photography ranges from $25.00 to
$500.00, with the average being about $250.00 for a large framed image. Other pieces
range from $100.00 to $1200.00, with the average being around $800.00 for a framed
image.
Customers may also make purchases online at the the gallery's web site:
www.pbj-gallery.com. Online offerings are focused on photography and include the
gallery's featured artists.
pb&j gallery will present the work of four artists during its newest show which
opens Friday, December 11 and runs through January 17. The show will feature
photographers, Dylan Bailey and James Penn and mixed media artists Tracy Murrell and
George Stone. The opening is from 7-10 pm.
