Two years ago I encountered this gallery and saw the exhibit, Staying Curious, by Stephen Schlegel…read more It was depicted as an event that will make your eyes smile. I didn't stay long yet I was captivated. Stephen was there and we talked briefly about his art work. He gave me some M&M candies with an imprint of his logo. 2021 I revisited this gallery and was moved by the new art work and photographs. I saw Stephen again but he looked different in his photograph. He was in military attire. As always, his sculpture beside his photograph looked playful and made the eyes smile. I talked to Toni and Shane at the front desk. The art displayed in the gallery was impressive. I liked how you could buy small pieces for affordable prices. I bought three framed photographs. Talked to a couple of people. A few children came in and told me about their favorite art pieces. One of them liked the red cardinal bird painting. His brother liked the CDs crafted into butterflies and the light bulb used to make a spider. My favorite one art pieces were the photographs I bought of the angel, the Smokey Mountains, and lightening. They were framed and matted- 3 for $10. I, also, liked the silver dragonfly and skeleton key earrings. The last items I liked were the black and white photograph of the merry go round with a menacing head poking through the trees and background by Shane and the simple portrait and sketch of a woman's face in charcoal and pencil.

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.

When R and I visited Nashville in November, we stopped at Loveless Cafe for lunch. However,…read morebecause there were so many people ahead of us, we had to wait for our time slot. 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!

Childish UPDATE: Soon after posting reviews, a refund was provided. Along with a message on Facebook full of attitude blaming ME for not calling during business hours. Which I did, and even waited 15 minutes after opening time. And I left a message. She also ranted about how she hasn't had issues with other people rescheduling. So, you know, it's all my fault even though I emailed her broken website (contact us function didn't work), messaged more than 3 separate times on Facebook AND called, leaving a message. It's really unfortunate, so many others seem to love this place. We would have loved that experience too. Our homeschool group scheduled classes, and we all prepaid. Totally fine. My kids were sick, and I will not expose others on purpose. I was told we could reschedule; my kids were really looking forward to that. Since then, I've done the "contact us" on her website which doesn't seem to be functioning. I've messaged her MULTIPLE times on Facebook, she responded the first time and hasn't since, but it shows the messages are read. I've left a voicemail asking again for the reschedule or a refund of the $45. She still has my money, and we didn't get the class nor the ornaments that came with it. My kids are disappointed, and I just want my money back.
