Harding art gallery to close doors
Posted on February 19, 2009 at 7:47 amThe American Artisan across from Saint Thomas Hospital will soon begin to wind down its operations.
Nancy Saturn founded the American Artisan 38 years ago and over the years has established it as the premiere gallery showcasing contemporary American handcrafts. Located in Stanford Square, across from St. Thomas Hospital, it boasts the work of more than 700 artists who create jewelry, ceramics, glass, wood, and decorative gifts, and is well known as one of Nashville’s most unique places to buy a gift or shop for art at affordable prices.
Although it is hard to imagine Nashville without The American Artisan Gallery, the founder and owner Nancy Saturn has decided to retire and close the doors of this venerable gallery. Starting March 1, 2009, The American Artisan will host an ‘End of an Era’ Sale boasting great discounts on all merchandise, as well as a chance to come in and say goodbye to a Nashville institution.
After the gallery closes, Nancy will continue to host The American Artisan Festival, the craft-fair-companion to the store and one of the city’s most enduring annual community events. Next June 19-21 marks the festival’s 39th year which is held every Father’s Day weekend in Centennial Park.
