I brought in a Bluebird Café poster that meant a lot to me, and they helped me transform it into something that feels like a true piece of art. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was working with people who genuinely appreciate not just framing, but the meaning behind what you bring to them. They took the time to guide me through different options, explaining the choices without overwhelming me, and helped me select a frame and glass that elevated the piece beautifully. The final result exceeded my expectations--it looks like something you would see in a gallery, not just hanging in a home. It was an investment, but absolutely worth it for something so personal and lasting. Every time I look at it, it brings me right back to that experience. If you have something meaningful that you want to preserve and display in a way that does it justice, Bennett Galleries is the place to go. I don't frame things just to decorate--I frame them to remember, and they understood that completely

Susan Tinney and Sarah Hays both focus on featuring a diverse portfolio of internationally known artists but still offer an unpretentious experience. The artwork featured at Tinney range in prices and may be purchased from the website too. I would personally love to receive a gift of art from here and will consider that when shopping in the future. Many Nashvillians may have stepped through these doors during the First Saturday Art Crawls but aren't aware that the gallery presents a series of rotating exhibitions throughout the year. I am personally looking forward to the upcoming "Sanctuary" exhibition opening on December 4th with local artist Sharon Lee Hart's long-term project -The Farm Animal Sanctuary Project. This compassionate artist contradicts the commonly held view of farm animals as purely utilitarian food and labor sources. Hart emphasizes the uniqueness of each animal by photographing them individually and titling each photograph with the animal's name. 20% of print sales and 100% of proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to the sanctuaries. When I received this information from Tinney, I knew that I was going to be a huge supporter of this gallery! This space is also available for rental and would be a unique option for a cocktail party, meetings, or an intimate special event. Other services provided by Tinney includes offering guidance for private collectors . They also provide assistance with framing and installing artwork, whether it was purchased it from Tinney Contemporary or elsewhere. The Art Crawl has a whole new meaning for me now.

With its carefully thought out interior design and intriguing, aesthetically pleasing exhibits, the…read moreTinney Gallery is one of the best galleries on the art crawl. When I stopped by on Saturday night, artist Pam Longobardi was giving a presentation of her exhibit entitled "Drifters." Her work featured a sculpture made of meticulously arranged litter she found on the beach and a web of rope, six pack rings, and twine, also made from materials she found on a beach. This may sound like it would look ugly, but Longobardi managed to make this "junk" strangely pleasing to the eye. My favorite part of her exhibit were her collages of tiny images carefully cut out and glued onto white paper. I like the way she arranged the images, leaving plenty of white space, how she used shades of just one or two colors in each piece, and the social conscience (environmentalism) behind her work. I'll definitely be visiting the Tinney gallery again, and I'd recommend it to everyone.

I was getting ready to move across the country and was able to donate old office supplies, post-its, paper and other items I had around my apartment - I was very happy to donate those items here rather than somewhere like Goodwill or them going into the trash. I didn't expect for them to ask me to stand there and go through every time I was donating. It was a bit judgey and uncomfortable as they handed back a can of spray paint that they thought could be less than half full. I was disappointed that the rest of it wouldn't be used be someone (even for free!) and that I had to throw it out instead.

This would be a great store to pick up a couple of "show" pieces. Interior designers and collectors surely flock here for high quality unique items. It was fun for us to look and speak with Stan. There are also two good antique and collectible shops next door. It is worth the visit if you are in the area.

Thankfully, customers can browse through some stores, including Shimai, on the Loveless property while they're waiting. Shimai features art, crafts, pottery and other creations produced by local artisans. When I walked in, I had a sense of calmness come over me. It helped that this store was well lit and the sunshine flooded the place through the multi-paned windows. This little store seemed like a museum, with everything being so nice. I can't even begin to imagine how many total countless hours it took the many local artists to create everything that was in Shimai. The were pottery pieces, handblown glass art, paintings, jewelry, women's articles of clothing, and so many pieces of art that can be hanged on the wall. Just know that most of these art pieces come with a high price. But they're very beautiful!

I loved the oil paintings and dreamed of where in my house I could hang each piece. Then I looked at the prices!

Richland hosts great events such as open houses, showings, and meet the artists parties from time to time. Check out the web site for details.

Although most of the paintings here a very conventional (children playing on the beach, still lives, agricultural landscapes, European streets, luxurious portraits, etc.), I did see a few more innovative pieces too, including a drippy-looking abstract painting in bold primary colors, a very realistic portrait of two old-timers playing folk music in a community center, and some neat impressionist wilderness scenes by Gavin Brooks. Most of the artwork at Richland is large-scale and very pricey. But they weren't kiddiing when they called it "Fine Art" - all of the paintings here are vibrant and professional-looking, clearly created by highly trained artists. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and don't seem to mind if you wander in without necessarily intending to make a purchase.
