The Tinney Contemporary is a free, small gallery that's good for a quick browse through while you're visiting downtown Nashville. My partner and I stopped by to see the current artworks they have displayed, and the staff there were very welcoming and chill. The place, despite being smaller than a gymnasium, was still very spacious and well organized with their artworks, which also changes throughout the season and events. Info booklets and cards are available at their main desk. Thankfully it wasn't busy either, when we visited on the weekend. The overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and I got to take some card-copies of the original displayed there. We spent no more than 15 minutes there, so it's worth stopping by this gallery to look at what they have to show. You won't regret it!

A small and intimate art gallery. Takes about 20mins to take it in. Nice chill vibe when you need a break from the wild downtown atmosphere.

1st rate gallery. Clever use of space. Seems to be the anchor on a developing block of galleries and restaurants. Really well done. And remember...we're snobby New Yorkers, so we don't toss praise lightly.
