Step into James-Ben Studio & Gallery Art Center, where you can reflect upon original creations in comfortable, low-key surroundings.
Located in historic Morgan Square on Main Street in downtown Greeneville, this combination jewelry studio and art gallery displays and sells works by local and regional artisans and presents solo exhibits throughout the year.
Handmade gifts and works you will enjoy displaying in your home or office abound in this eclectic gallery. Prices vary as much as the art!
We are very proud that our patrons are now defining us as a "destination gallery," well worth the trip to Greeneville. While you're here, we hope you'll enjoy our unique, historic downtown, anchored by the home of the 17th president, Andrew Johnson.

"BUDDIES" by Caroline Blanks is from her one-woman-show IMPRESSIONS: ART AT NPAC. Caroline's ability to catch light and movement on canvas is very subtle and yet powerful. Within the context of Immpressionism, her utilization of realistict detail becomes captivating as one views Caroline's work.
Aren't Caroline's pet portraits superb? While dogs are her primary subjects (her pets), Carolyne's love of all animalsshines through every portrait. Her paintings are commissioned via the Gallery.
LEILANI'S MACHE MENAGERIE
Linda Leilani Bohanan's mind-boggling sculptures based on papier mache techniques utilizing gauze fabric are more than intriguing, more than enigmatic... the inhabitants of this managerie are outspoken in their silence. If you choose to interact, they will cooperate but the first contact is yours to make. PLEASE DO NOT FEED OR FONDLE THE MENAGERIE! On the front window of the Studio/Art Center, hold your hand against the window pane as you peak into the display and expect to be somewhat unsettled as the almost life-size giraffe stares back!
