Atlanta artist Craig Drennen has created a sophisticated contemporary art gallery, highlighting artists from Atlanta and beyond, called The End Project Space in a growing nexus of artist studio spaces and art spaces just south of Atlanta. Drennen, who is involved in several arts organizations in Atlanta and teaches at Georgia State University, has used his gallery space to bring high-caliber art to Atlanta and support the local art economy. As a well-known figure on the Atlanta art scene, Drennen combines intellectual chops with an incredible sense of humor and generosity rooted in his West Virginia upbringing where hard work, an obsession with books and parents who nurtured his creativity were formative. Felicia Feaster spoke with Drennen and she’ll bring us that conversation on this week’s podcast.
