TINNEY celebrates its twentieth year by showcasing an expansive group exhibition, kicking off its 2026 program. The exhibition will be on display from January 10 through February 14, 2026. The opening reception will be on Saturday, January 10,  from 2 to 9 PM in conjunction with the Downtown Arts District’s  Second Saturday Art Crawl. There will be a public closing reception on February 14, 2026.

TINNEY/20 features the works of over 50 painters, sculptors, and photographers living and working in Tennessee who have exhibited works with the gallery, in its various incarnations, over the past two decades. The exhibition will be a moment to reflect on the gallery’s enduring legacy as a reliable institution whose voice has helped define the vibrant visual arts community in Nashville.

TINNEY  has occupied its current space since 2006, when Susan Tinney sought a permanent location for her habitual pop-up exhibitions, which had hitherto taken place in her living room and in friends' homes. Since then, an engaged coterie of makers, collectors enthusiasts have propagated in and around the gallery. This “recollection” is a celebration of the joys of making and sharing work, of survival, and of what we continue to cultivate together.
