Jim took the time to understand our need and make sure we found what we want, even if we ended up commissioning a work. We found the exact piece, Marigold Dreams by Julie Harvey. Looks like the room was made for it!
Nice to meet Kelly and glad to have 2 new friends. Highly recommend taking the time to visit the gallery!

Wow! There is so much to love about Gallery 202 it's hard to know where to start. The gallery is stunning from the architecture to the antique pieces and art. Kelly and Jim are always welcoming and lovely. Kelly just painted my horse and captured him perfectly, not only his likeness but his spirit! How does someone do that? Don't know, but so grateful and happy!

This amazing mixture of local artwork—from paintings to sculpture— helped me realize how much talent we have in the local community. Of course, the owner, Kelly Harwood, being one of my favorite contemporary artists of all time. Gallery 202 also has a collection of southern antique furniture for sale, all under one roof. I saw that the restored building dates all the back to 1821, so it's also a piece of timeless architecture. You'll be amazed as I was.

When you walk into Gallery 202, you are greeted with a warm welcome from the gallery owner, Kelly, and his infectious smile and southern hospitality. The gallery is full of beautiful pieces of art and antiques. Kelly is an amazing artist, and I have been able to purchase a couple of his paintings. He took great care in packaging the paintings, and they were shipped quickly. Please be sure to check out Gallery 202; you will be glad you did.

Kelly is an amazing artist and friend. I appreciate both his amazing talent but his willingness to support local arts and events. He gives in abundance. The art gallery and the artist represented are incredible and represent different type of art. It is always interesting to return and see what new art has arrive. Jim does a great job of educating you on both the art and the venue. A "must visit" when you are in Franklin.

Kelly Harwood is an incredible painter. My dad loved his work and he started buying the artists he’d feature, Melvin Toledo, to asking for Kelly to paint. He will always be apart of our family. And we adore he and Jim’s antiques and their work!

Works of art housed within a beautiful structure of old Franklin. Art within art. Pieces done in varied mediums, and exhibited in a tasteful environment. Kelly was the one that we had the pleasure of meeting, and he is not only an owner, but he is tremendously talented with a palette and paintbrush himself. I was mesmerized by the colors and shadows of a commission he was painting at the time. (I'm disappointed that I could not see it finished). The warmth, knowledge, courtesy and hospitality are very welcoming here. Time well spent. I look forward to seeing Kelly again. Drop in for a relaxed and enjoyable browse.

I commissioned Kelly Harwood for a piece of artwork of our dog Rusty. Kelly is an amazing artist and an amazing person as well. He has the best personality and is very engaging and passionate about art. The artwork is amazing and he made Rusty come to life! I highly recommend visiting his gallery and artwork.

Kelley and Jim are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Kelley Harwood is an extremely talented artist. I have personally given him 2 commissions for paintings for our home and my office and he vastly exceeded our expectations on both occasions. They also carry excellent works of other regional artists and we have purchased several of those over the years. I could not endorse Kelley,Jim and Gallery 202 with more enthusiasm. If you enjoy fine art and artists you have to go if your ever in Franklin. Beautiful historic home for the 202 Gallery as well. Sam Yeager

Do NOT go to Franklin without stopping by here. The owner is maybe the nicest person we met during our whole vacation. The artwork inside is absolutely without equal. Some amazing things to see.
