Miami Circle Gallery Stroll
For the third year in a row, Atlanta’s largest collection of private galleries welcome visitors to view exhibitions featuring works across a range of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography and more.
The free, bi-monthly Gallery Stroll series was launched in 2022 by Livable Buckhead to celebrate art in Buckhead and to encourage the local community to enjoy the world-class concentration of galleries at Miami Circle. The series also marked completion of a nearby major section of PATH400 that provides bike and pedestrian access from Miami Circle to Lenox Square.
The first 50 attendees to the March 16th edition of Miami Circle Gallery Stroll will receive a free, collectible pin. Eclipse di Luna is offering Gallery Stroll participants a free sangria with food purchase (check-in at the Livable Buckhead registration table required).

Participating Galleries
Miami Circle, or “The Circle” as insiders call it, has long been home to the home décor trades, with sixty-some showrooms selling furniture and accessories, lighting and countertops in shops lining the broad street off Piedmont Avenue near Sidney Marcus Boulevard in Buckhead. While the lineup has also included a smattering of art galleries and related services, the number of galleries has grown as well-known galleries have moved from places like Castleberry Hill and Bennett Street to set up shop in this Buckhead destination.
Renowned galleries included in the Miami Circle Art Stroll include:
PATH400 and Buckhead Public Art
With the first phase opening in 2011, PATH400 has become a favorite spot for Buckhead walkers, joggers, bikers and pet owners to get out for some fresh air and exercise. PATH400 runs along the spine of GA 400, connecting neighborhoods, office and retail locations with a path for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Art is an integral part PATH400, inviting people in and encouraging them to explore what the community has to offer. Some components include:
- Great Blue Mural by Krista Jones aka JONESY
- Wellspring Living mural by Ashley Bella
- Outerspace Project Art Walls Murals
- Shadows on PATH400 Sculptures
- Artist-created Park Amenities
- Inspired Artistic Creations
Art creates a sense of place and provides a reason for people to interact with the art and each other, while weaving inspiration and beauty into the daily lives of those who live, work, and play in our community. We encourage you to explore PATH400.
