Gallery ATARAH is a hybrid artist studio and gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
This is my working creative space—an active studio where I practice fine art photography and mixed media installation work. The space operates on a living gallery model: art-making, collection viewing, and exhibition programming coexist, creating transparency between creative process and finished work.
The gallery presents three types of programming.
The Shop is an ongoing collection of vintage and antique fine art alongside Atarah's original works — available year-round. When biannual shows aren't running, the salon wall displays available pieces from both the vintage collection and her personal practice.
Salon Nights are monthly open studio gatherings (first Fridays) offering casual, accessible art viewing and community connection between exhibition cycles.
Salon Shows are biannual curated group exhibitions (winter and summer) featuring 15–20 artists working from authentic self-exploration. These fully installed exhibitions provide a professional platform for artists creating outside traditional gallery structures, with an artist-friendly 65/35 commission split.
ABOUT
Meet the owner & curator...
As founder and curator of Gallery ATARAH, Atarah Atkinson has created a distinctive space in Brooklyn's art landscape—one that bridges professional exhibition standards with an intimate, artist-centered approach.
Atkinson's background uniquely positions her for this multifaceted role. Formally trained at Brooks Institute of Photography, she has built a diverse career spanning fine art photography, installation work, commercial & editorial fashion, and entrepreneurship. In 2017, she co-founded The Atrium photography studio; continued to showcase her own work on both the east and west coasts, and then in 2025 opened Gallery ATARAH.
Her artistic practice explores how internal experience can be made visible through photography and mixed medias. Working with analog film and sculptural materials, she creates installations that transform images into embodied objects—what she calls "emotional architecture." This intimate understanding of the creative process shapes her curatorial vision: she seeks artists whose work emerges from authentic self-examination and transforms personal truth into universal resonance.
As gallery director, Atkinson wears multiple hats. She curates exhibitions, develops educational programming, maintains her own studio practice, and builds community—all while ensuring the gallery operates at a professional standard that honors the work being presented. She aims to be thoughtful in curation and a welcoming environment for both artists and audiences.
The space reflects Atkinson's belief that the most powerful art comes from artists willing to engage honestly with themselves
