Your Ultimate Guide to Art Scene

This Friday offers up perfect weather, a little vino, and the Franklin Art Scene – a free event that shows off the art culture in downtown Franklin.

Don’t worry about driving from location to location as The Williamson Source will be providing free trolley rides from 6pm until 9pm that will cover the entire Franklin Art Scene route.

Here are a few of the artists featured in this month’s Art Scene:

1. Head to Gallery 202 on Second Avenue South to see the breathtaking works by Kelly Harwood, who just also happens to be the owner of the gallery in addition to being a wonderful artist. Puckett’s Trolley will be set up outside for some good eats!

2. The new Jamba Juice on W. Main Street will feature artist Megan Whittier, whose Home Sweet Tennessee and other state prints are local favorites and ready to frame.

3. The Visitor’s Center on Fourth Avenue is excited to have Robbie Lasky with them on Friday. She uses oil paints and has developed a passion for creating subjects that are varied, bright, light-hearted, and positive.

4. Hope Church on Fourth Avenue South is hosting the folk art of Tonya Crawford, who calls her work the “comfort food” of the art world.

5. Pedego Franklin on E. Main Street will provide viewing for James Lambert‘s paintings. With faith in Christ at her core, she hopes her paintings inspire others to pursue their own journey of grace, love and trust.

6. The Historic Presbyterian Church at Five Points will showcase the intriguing works of Traci Fowlers, who “uses investigations in craft to create small-scale installations and set up visual Venn diagrams in which multiple disparate parts (be they family heirlooms, live plants, or domestic artifice) [to] maintain individuality, yet simultaneously meet in the middle.”

7. Savory Spice Shop on Main Street is featuring works by “Mertlemay,” a jewelry line inspired by nature, shape, color and texture that creates simple but unique items.
