I visit Franklin every time I go to visit my parents in Nashville. Jim McReynolds and Terry Harwood have an amazing Gallery in Franklin. The art and artists are equally interesting. The house is also amazing. They are both amazing and when I travel from New York, it is another little piece of home. It is really a must see in the epicenter of this historic town.

My wife and I were travelling from Toronto, Canada and visiting friends who live in Brentwood TN and, by luck, our walk about the historic town of Franklin TN lead us to this fantastic gallery. We were greeted by the owner Kelly and he took us on a tour, giving us the entire history of the building, which in itself is a treasure) and about much of the art displayed in the gallery. My wife and I kept on saying: "don't you wish we had millions to spend..."? The art is fantastic, Kelly is the most gracious and enthusiastic gallery owner we've ever met and, the experience was so wonderful that we introduced our friend from Brentwood the very next day and took him for a tour and visit with Kelly. We highly recommend Galley 202 to anyone, no matter how rich or how poor you are. There, you will find true love of the art and of the human spirit. Thanks Kelly for an amazing visit.

My wife and I visited Nashville recently with an eye toward moving there in the future. Our host suggested that we visit Franklin, and we fell in love with the town. Gallery 202 was a major reason!Great art, masterfully displayed. The pieces were grouped in a very creative and artistic manner. The building is beautiful, well preserved, and nicely decorated. Of course the historic aspect of the building and the town are inspiring.Perhaps the best part of the visit was meeting Kelly Harwood. Here is a person who has found their true purpose in life, and it shows in his energy, enthusiasm, and friendliness. His own art is bold, beautiful, and has a subtle sense of humor. His knowledge of the art in the building, and the artists who create it, made our visit interesting and memorable.We had a great time in the Nashville area, especially in Franklin, and Kelly and the Gallery 202 were an important part of our trip! Thanks, Kelly!

I visited this gallery with an artist friend and was totally impressed with the beautiful former home and the art represented there…from folk art to contemporary the work was the "finest of the fine."It is all displayed beautifully and the owners were so welcoming and knowledgable.I can't wait for my next visit to Franklin to see what they'll have next.Kudos, Kelly and Jim.

We are from Green Bay, WI and went on vacation to the Franklin/Nashvillle area. We did not have many plans but heard about Gallery 202 and decided to stop in. This is an amazing art gallery with fabulous artwork and sculptors. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kelly, and he was so nice and welcoming. I am so glad that we made this stop. The house is amazing and has a lot of history connected to it, which makes it all the better. This building was meant for Kelly. Hope to see you again!! p.s. Get Stung

This is a wonderful art gallery just off the square (and near the antique district) in Franklin. It's located in a beautiful historic home and showcases a wide variety of artwork from from quality artists. We left with a few lovelies to enjoy back home.

Amazing gallery to visit. As soon as I entered Gallery 202 I felt at home. Normally in galleries and museums one might feel put off from the vibe of the establishment or the unfriendly employees watching your every move. In Gallery 202 Kelly makes you feel as if we were long lost friends, he kindly explained the entire history of the fantastic original building that he's in and each artist that has work shown throughout the gallery, including his own. Kelly and his partner have collected a beautiful gallery of works that perfectly reflect the nature and beauty of the area surrounding them. I was entranced by Kelly and his gorgeous soul, and forgot about my entire day of plans, I will be honest that I don't regret getting lost for hours in this magical little house of history and amazing upcoming artist. I recommend visiting Gallery 202 whenever in Tennessee and be sure to leave at least 2 hours of your time to meet Kelly and learn all about the Gallery, it was a life changing experience for me.

A visit to Gallery 202 is a showcase of the unique character of historic Franklin, Tennessee. Restored historic home, Check! Wonderful southern hospitality of Kelly and Jim, Check! Front porch community always present and always friendly, Check! The creative inspiration, wit, wisdom, and talent of artists (though not all Southerners by birth, certainly in spirit), Check! A "do not miss" when you are in town, Check!

Fun gallery to visit. Always new things, even artist at work and sometimes he is mentoring young talent! Kelly is always warm and friendly, making us feel at home. The variety is amazing! One of those places that yells at you......"If you want it, you better get it now!" Always a pleasure. Won't go to Franklin and ever forget to check it out!

If you are visiting historic Franklin, TN, you should carve out time to stop by Gallery 202. You will be glad you did. The gallery is located in the historic and meticulously restored Clouston Hall. The owners, Kelly and Jim, roll out the welcome mat and embrace you like a long lost friend. On display is a variety of art from local and regional artists and includes paintings, sculpture and jewelry. Be sure to have them tell you about the history of the house, and whatever you do, don't offend the spirits that inhabit the building!
