Hanatzeb Ethiopian Art Gallery, the first of its kind in Atlanta, celebrated its grand opening on November 1. The Gallery also hosted a 2-day art and litrature event this past weekend, Nov. 20 – 22, where Ethiopian traditional bread and coffee were served.
Located in the Buckhead neighborhood, Hanatzeb Gallery adds to the City of Atlanta’s growing art scene.
Along with paintings, the gallery carries Ethiopian artifacts, such as traditional crosses, masks, books, and household items.
The Gallery also hosts poem reading events and receptions for Ethiopian painters and artists to help them introduce their works.
The owner, Anteneh Girma, says that one of the objectives of the gallery is to introduce Ethiopia’s still undiscovered, but incredibly talented artists to the world.
Indeed many of the paintings currently on display in the gallery are stunningly beautiful. Most of them are brought from Ethiopia. Some have been produced by Ethiopian artists who are residing in the U.S.
The gallery is open from 10 AM – 6 PM from Monday through Saturday. It is located at 49 B Bennett Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30309.

Very Classy business to be in indeed,
This is the kind of organizations Ethiopians should pursue in the west for many reasons, it introduces our country in positive ways to the stereotype west that sees our beloved country as poor with nothing to show to the world except for the poverty and drought advertised by the last two and the current Ethiopian governments I have seen so far.
I applaud Ato Anteneh for coming up with the idea of representing his country in this venue that can show the wealth of Ethiopia through art and literature and it will be my first stop in my next trip to Atlanta.
God Bless
