A new art venue is coming to Smith County this November. HartLynn Gallery, located near Rock City, is preparing to open in mid-November, offering a variety of artwork, handmade gifts, and other locally crafted items.
The gallery is owned by artist Anne Towns, who will showcase her work alongside fellow artists Lenore Pearson-Cook of Murfreesboro, Kathy Wilkerson of Rock City, and Carol Wilmore of Carthage.
Visitors will find a selection of acrylic and watercolor artwork and prints, along with handmade jewelry, candles, soaps, greeting cards, bookmarks, origami, and mixed-media creations. Handmade candy will also be available on occasion.
The gallery’s opening season is scheduled to run from mid-November through January 3, 2027, providing an opportunity for shoppers to find unique Christmas gifts, home décor, and stocking stuffers while supporting local artists.
The name HartLynn Gallery holds special meaning for Towns. It was chosen in honor and memory of her late husband, Harry Lynn, and her brother, David Hart “Brad” West. Both men were skilled wood craftsmen in addition to their respective careers with the United Methodist Publishing House and Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation (UCEMC).
The gallery’s advertised visiting hours are the fourth Thursday of each month from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., by appointment. Private showings and visits on other dates can also be scheduled.
Towns and the participating artists look forward to welcoming visitors and sharing their creations with the community during the upcoming holiday season.
