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.

When traveling, places like Griffin's Studio are EXACTLY what I'm looking for when it comes to…read moreshopping! A few colleagues and I had lunch at The Place (great restaurant next door) then wandered here. The moment I walked in, I knew I liked it. As a matter of fact, I would like this anywhere, but being a little gem in downtown Hopkinsville made it that much more special. You can find jewelry, greeting cards, children's items, home items, some locally made items, art, and a variety of other items in this sweet store. The owner is apparently an artist, and I heard they also do painting classes in the studio as well. (The back portion of the space looked like a studio; the front space was more of a boutique/store.) The employees were so friendly. I believe I was talking to the mother of Griffin, while Griffin herself was further in the back working. It seemed as though they would gift wrap gifts; though most of what I bought was for myself. Without a doubt, make this a stop when you're in Hopkinsville! The strip it is on has some other neat looking stores (including an ice cream/candy shop), so you could even just do some window shopping if so desired. P.S. My one hope/suggestion would be for more clarity on where/who some of the art/jewelry comes from. For example, I bought this awesome bracelet, and I'd love to know who made it.

The overall feel leans towards a more female touch, but it has an appeal for anyone young or old. Locals should visit to see things the average gift or boutique store just will not have. People visiting from out of town should visit to see one of the more unique businesses in town that does not fall on the usual radar of area places to visit. You might have seen similar places in neighboring areas with art communities but this one has a one of a kind Hopkinsville feel to it.

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.
