“We highly recommend working with Suzanne and the Emporium Center team. They have the best contacts, great vision, and are SO organized! They will execute your wedding or special event vision flawlessly!”
“Went here for the first time today and really enjoyed the selection of gifts and local art. I took my sister here so she could pick up a little souvenir and some stationary. She ended up with several items. Definitely a local business I will be coming back to for more art prints.”
“Top tier art of all varieties in here. The artists are the people working and there's always something new! Everything from 3d welding to to textiles and fine jewelry! Just a cool vibe”
“We had the best experience with Little River Art! We commissioned a custom painting of our dogs in front of the Smoky Mountains, and the entire process was incredibly fast and seamless from start to finish. The attention to detail and care that went into the piece truly exceeded our expectations.
We can’t wait to hang it in our home and enjoy this beautiful heirloom for years to come. Highly recommend Little River Art to anyone looking for a meaningful, high-quality custom piece!”
“This store is such a gem for the community! I was invited to a really nice event on a Friday night and had so much fun. I bought this really amazing painted ceramic sculpture of Knoxville landmarks and it’s something I’ll keep forever. I can’t wait for the opportunity to come back.”
“A place that sells mud, who'd think?
When I showed up there they were immediately responsive. There were people who were working with the clay and what were either classes or people using the product there to create their own art or utensil.
Everybody was friendly. I have bad rotator cuffs and the young lady had no problem picking up the 75 lb of clay and putting in the back of my car.”
“Tim is amazing. I've had him frame about 4 or 5 pieces of art for me. High quality work and great service. There's a reason he's been in business for almost four decades.”

“When I needed to buy a wedding gift, I went to Bennett to find something unique that will probably remain in the family for generations. I ended up getting this silver tray and the most gorgeous serving spoons but it’s almost impossible to choose because the selection is incredible. I could spend all day browsing and looking at the beautiful heirloom quality things.”
“Coolest store in town! Excellent staff, knowledgeable owners. Creatively wonderful place with something for every one! Pioneer House is a must stop every time I go thru Knoxville!”
“I have always desired to have at least one fine art piece in my home, but was nervous about going into a gallery because of my limited knowledge about art. I recently moved to Knoxville and thought if I am ever going to purchase a piece of art, it should be now. I kept driving by Art Galleria, but never worked up the nerve to go in. My daughter was with me recently and I finally ventured in. Let me tell you, it was a great experience! Joe gave us a tour, NO pressure to purchase and he provided great insights into the different types of original art he had. It was actually fun. I did end up purchasing a piece (truthfully more than one) and I feel great about it. Joe made the experience non-threatening and fulfilling. If you have a blank wall, consider filling it with something that will last a life time and longer.”
“We had Heather as our live wedding artist and honestly, it was one of our favorite parts of the day. Watching her bring everything to life in real time was so special, and the final painting came out even more beautiful than we imagined. It’s something we’ll always have to remember the day.
Our guests were obsessed and kept going up to watch her work—everyone was talking about how talented she is. It added such a fun, personal touch that made the whole day feel even more us.
If you’re thinking about having a live artist at your wedding, do it. And trust us, go with Heather. You’ll be so happy you did.”
