ATLANTA – The (A) List for Atlanta Market and Casual Market Atlanta is coming in hot. The design and trend influencer program has named four industry trailblazers for its summer edition.

Atlanta Market, running June 15-21, will feature takeovers from Alaina Kaz, co-founder, CEO and owner of The Everygirl Media Group; John Wilson, interior design specialist; and Aly Morford and Leigh Lincoln, the founders and designers behind full-service design studio Pure Salt.

The influencers will share market tips across the Atlanta Market and Casual Market Atlanta Instagram pages, along with host educational seminars and curate three design projects to be on display at AmericasMart Atlanta.
