Can we do it again?
Last year, just four months after opening our doors, Gainesboro Modern was voted Best Museum in Tennessee 2025 by Guide to Tennessee.
And we’ve been nominated again for 2026!
For a contemporary art museum in a town of fewer than 1,000 people, that recognition meant a lot—not just for us, but for Gainesboro and the idea that extraordinary cultural experiences can happen in small towns, too.
If you believe in what we’re building here, we’d love your vote... AND you can vote daily through September 30!

Final weeks of Soft Logic.

There are just a few weeks left to experience Vickie Vainionpää: Soft Logic at Gainesboro Modern.

Bringing together works that begin with algorithms, eye-tracking technology, and virtual reality before ultimately becoming paintings made by hand, Soft Logic explores the increasingly blurred line between the digital and the physical.

If you’ve been meaning to see it—or want to spend a little more time with it—now is the time.

Soft Logic remains on view in the Union Gallery through Sunday, August 30.

Thursday–Saturday 10–5
Sunday 11–3

Small town. Global art.
Free admission. Always.
