 Welcome
to what was the Dickson Gallery of Fine Art online. Previously
a multicultural
art gallery based
out of historic
downtown Jackson, Tennessee.
THANK
YOU JACKSON, TN for THREE wonderful
years!!!
Please
note this art gallery is no more. But
this website serves simply in its memory
as a reminder that such things CAN be done.
Just takes guts, lots of heart and hard
work.

Growing
toward
the sun
We
came through it with flying colors, thanks
to you. Our final artistic hurrah was
held on location at 118
E Lafayette St and it was HUGE! People
came and showed support with flying colors
on June 27, 2008. Denny Anderson and
his saxophone echoed down the street. It
was a wonderful evening, filled with emotion,
memories, tears, smiles, hugs and great
art!
Yes, the Dickson Gallery of
Fine Art may be no more but original art
was sold, bought by you...its many supporters
and we THANK YOU for that! May those
memories live on as a reminder that art
lives and certainly enhances any place that
is willing to embrace it. Thank you
Jackson for THREE wonderful years! ...and
may the seeds that were planted continue
to grow and prosper in the community.

 Dickson Gallery
swings
no more
Yes,
it's true. The Dickson Gallery
of Fine Art is closed.
Due to renovation
of the building next door, we closed our
doors on May 21, 2008 so that the structural issues to our
building that surfaced could be addressed
in a timely manner. Unfortunately,
this did not occur and there was no end
in site. Soooo, due to loss of
income and the no-end-in-site, imminent-threat
of-construction we were forced to close
the doors of our storefront gallery forever.
However,
we chose to go out with a bang, by
hosting a "final hurrah" of sorts
on Friday, June 27, 2008 where we celebrated all that
was, all that is and all that will be. (Besides
we all needed closure due to this horrible
development). Special
thanks to all of you who joined
with us as we celebrated in Dickson Gallery
style.
(check
out our blog
for comments and photos about
that special night.)
We
also hosted a tribute radio
show where many of you called
in to tell us what you thought.

button below to hear this streaming
audio podcast of this very special
show.

Thank
you for those who called in
with your great comments!!
