Named one of Nashville's best art galleries. Handmade, artisan, unique finds and gifts. We're one-of-a-kind! Find us on the East Side.
Before the Five Points District of East Nashville became a hip, fun destination, Bret & Meg MacFadyen saw its potential. With that vision in mind, they converted an old garage at 1106 Woodland Street into the Art & Invention Gallery.
Having five to six shows annually, including the signature Tomato Art Show in August and Holiday Artisan Show in December, Art & Invention Gallery focuses on inventiveness in fine art, craft, jewelry and original furniture. Workshops are held throughout the year as an outlet for creative energy.
Art AND Invention is always in motion at Garage Mahal! From custom furnishings, metalwork, commercial fixtures and design work to whimsical wooden toys and crafts… some creative project is always in the works.
For 9 years in a row, the Nashville Scene has voted Art & Invention Gallery one of the top three “Art Galleries” in Nashville , as well as “Best Art Show” [for Tomato Art] in Nashville! The Tomato Art Fest is consistently named “#1 Festival” and " Best Free Fun” in Nashville! The Gallery has also received accolades from the Southern Foodways Alliance, Travel and Leisure, SPIN Magazine, and even The New York Times!
