Mason Fine Art continues a 30 year tradition of presenting a diverse selection of contemporary art with an emphasis on Southern artists and a special expertise in the art of self-taught artists. Mason Fine Art welcomes collectors, curators, consultants, and designers to our new location on Miami Circle, shared with the esteemed Marcia Wood Gallery. The Gallery is led by Owner, Mark Karelson, a specialist in Folk and Outsider Art. Mark has curated events for museums and institutions including the Gantt Museum. He is curator of The John Lewis Series by Benny Andrews, currently on exhibition at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center in Madison, Georgia.

In 1990, Mark and Kim Karelson opened Modern Primitive Gallery in Virginia Highlands. Modern Primitive Gallery gave opportunities to artists that had historically been ignored or marginalized by the mainstream art world. Many of these artists are now featured in the world’s most important museums. The gallery transitioned in the early 2000s to Mason Murer Fine Art located in the Armour Ottley Loop. This 24,000 square foot art gallery was also a major Atlanta event venue and the creator of extraordinary exhibitions including Embrace: The Art Fair of The National Black Arts Festival. In the Spring of 2015, Mason Fine Art opened its doors and continues to serve and foster the ever-evolving art community in Atlanta.

  • Corporate Collections

    A corporate art collection serves many purposes, from communicating a company’s brand and vision, to enhancing office culture and encouraging employees to think creatively. We believe that beautiful works of art reflect an investment in the people who work for you, and we welcome the opportunity to help bring your vision to life. Past corporate clients include Coca Cola, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, RADCO, Cushman & Wakefield, Pollack Shores, ING, Ackerman Security, and the Atlanta Silverbacks. 

  • Art Advising and Consulting

    For all of our clients - whether a private buyer, interior designer, or a corporate collector - we offer comprehensive art consulting services to take a project from start to finish. These services include assistance with art inspiration, selection, framing, and installation. First, we will send you options of available works based on your taste, interests, and budget. From there, we can guide you through processes like commissioning a work or selecting from frame options. For local projects, we will consult with you on site, advising on everything from aesthetic details like lighting and framing to nitty gritty aspects like hardware and installation.

    We welcome the opportunity to work with interior designers and architects on both large-scale and small-scale projects.
