ABOUT THE ART HOUSE
We believe in art and design to fit your home and life.
The Art House is a salon-style gallery, event space and creative incubator.
We exhibit local talent; emerging artists from leading arts institutions and nation-wide cultural hubs; blue-chip artworks by living legends and the stuff that art history is made of.
Original artwork, limited editions and artist-designed objects are for sale, alongside a curated selection of antique and speciality items, from a variety of styles, mediums and period.
We aim to make the world of art and design approachable, accessible, and appreciated.
We are your daily culture fix and your go-to source for independent and confidential art advice and services.
We offer a lively roster of pop-up exhibitions and trunk shows, artist, designer and collector events, trips to art-worthy destinations and the ability to soak in the energy of the space for your very own private gathering.
Whether you love the buzz of the big city or the natural splendors of the coast—or both— you have a home at the Art House.
Our founder is Elizabeth Piazza — art advisor, curator, collection manager and USPAP-compliant appraiser.

OUR FOUNDER
With strong family ties to the Golden Isles going back to the 1930s, Elizabeth and her husband Bradford moved in 2018 to this special place where their marriage began, “under the oaks,” trading in the city streets for a Southern state of mind and a special place to raise their growing family.
The Art House was founded in 2019 as an extension of Elizabeth’s established international appraisal and advisory practice, Piazza Fine Art. The Art House goes beyond the typical confines of a gallery's walls by offering a range of all-encompassing lifestyle, curatorial and appraisal services for her clients, which run the gamut of private collectors, interior designers, international hoteliers, blue-chip galleries, and museum collections.
Elizabeth aimed to create a space that sparked energy and opened the door to creatIve possibilities; a place where her clients could feel comfortable with their needs and dreams; and at home with their sensibilities.
Each artwork and object found in the gallery is hand-selected by Elizabeth with an exquisite attention to detail and an eye for quality and connoisseurship, honed over many years of curating appraising, and advising in the fine art world.
So that you may find…
Art and design to fit your home and life.
