For Winston Taylor, the Westside has always been the heart of Atlanta — the place where Black culture, art, and enterprise belong.

So when he set out to build something of his own, there was never any question about where it would be. That something is the Martin, at 960 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW. What started as a vision for a space has become a home for galleries, main street offices, photography, and a listening room where jazz artists fill the room on any given night. Neighbors gather here. Artists find a stage here. The community comes together here. For Winston, though, the most meaningful part isn't the building. It's the neighbors who show up, roll up their sleeves, and build alongside him — what Dr. King called the beloved community. Not just imagining it, but building it. That's what it means to be Built on the Westside. Take a moment to meet Winston and his vision for the The Martin.
