What are big challenges that your business faces?

"There is obviously uncertainty about the economy, which affects consumer confidence and spending patterns. As a fairly young business, we must also continue to work aggressively to raise awareness about the gallery so that folks will know we are here, what we have to offer, and how our goods and services are unique."

What is something special about your business?

"Gallery One offers the largest and most varied selection of contemporary fine art in Belle Meade. The gallery, which features original paintings, sculpture, works on paper and photography, serves as the region's exclusive representative of several talented Tennessee-based artists and other artists from throughout the country. We assist residential and corporate clients in the selection, delivery, care and placement of fine art."

Why did you choose this location/neighborhood?

"Our goal was to offer something unique to West Nashville, something previously unavailable. One could easily find more traditional, representational artwork in Belle Meade, but we wanted to provide more options, and at the highest standards. The Harding Pike/Highway 100 corridor offers a growing range of design services, and we're happy to add to the mix."
