About Us
Denise Leitch Jackson has found a way to combine her passion for art with her extensive
business background. With a B.A. in Applied Behavioral Sciences from National-Louis
University, she held various positions in banking and finance, which allowed her to be active in the community and with charitable events.
As a fifth generation San Franciscan, Denise was exposed to art at an early age, and could tell a Modgliani before she was five. Also living in northern NJ, she loved frequent visits to museums as a child. Living in the south throughout her adult life, Denise frequented galleries, but realized many of her friends and colleagues did not. Witnessing a growing art community in Atlanta, she met artists who were anxious to get their work exposed. With a desire to get art in front of a broader audience, she began to offer art events in non-traditional venues from restaurants to coffee shops to night clubs. Eventually, she developed a niche in putting on art events in condo and loft properties, where people liked the marriage of art, architecture and design. Ultimately,she found people enjoyed the art experience.
Her first gallery opened in a loft in the Stacks at the Fulton Cotton Mills in May 2009. She relocated the gallery to a two story live-work space in Castleberry Point in June 2010. The gallery features a monthly exhibition in the downstairs space to coincide with Castleberry Hill's ongoing Art Stroll on the second Friday of every month. Historic Castleberry Hill is one of the most active, vibrant art districts in downtown Atlanta. The gallery will host additional events throughout the month, and is available as event space. The upstairs houses art by many of the Atlanta based artists represented by the gallery, and has a open kitchen and live space conducive to lively events.
As an art consultant, Denise also provides art consulting services to clients. She meets with clients to learn more about their taste, interest in art and the design of their space. She will bring art work on site for approval. Her strengths lie in building and maintaining long term relationships with individual and corporate clients based on understanding their needs and valuing their trust.

Denise find people enjoy the art experience, and she enjoys relating the stories of the artists and their work. She values the opportunity to be part of Atlanta's growing art scene, which is an important component of Atlanta becoming the international and cultural city it strives to be.
