A fatal fire early Sunday morning in South Downtown Atlanta has resulted in the temporary but indefinite closure of several galleries in the area until they can show they are up to fire codes. Gallery owners and organizers say they are unsure how long it will take to prove to the city that they are up to code.

According to news reports, an Atlanta police officer noticed smoke coming from a two-story building, believed unoccupied, on South Broad Street at 1 a.m. early Sunday morning. Several well-attended events in area galleries were still going on at the time, and attendees say that witnesses began to run in from outside, yelling that everyone should leave the buildings due to smoke from a nearby fire. On the street, smoke was seen billowing from the two-story building, and fire trucks arrived soon afterwards.

The good news in all of this is that Newport seems to be a really great landlord. Previous lease agreements left it up to the tenants, but it seems that Newport is taking responsibility and helping the galleries find alternative performance spaces while their buildings are brought to code. That is some good insight into the importance Newport places on having these types of businesses in their development.

Newport probably wants to avoid another Ghost Ship Gallery fire tragedy.
