Our Mission: Art is for Everyone.
Admission is always free.
Gainesboro Modern believes in the transformative potential of contemporary art to enhance lives, break down barriers, and ignite creative thinking for present and future generations. Our primary goal is to bring contemporary art to a community that has traditionally struggled to access and engage with it and, in turn, create a destination and support the economic vibrancy of Gainesboro, TN.
In addition, we aim to provide emerging and underrepresented artists from around the globe a platform for museum exposure.
Support the Vision
Your support keeps admission free, brings bold exhibitions to rural Tennessee, and ensures Gainesboro Modern remains a vibrant place for connection and discovery. Whether you join The Visionaries, contribute to a special campaign like Legacy, Revealed, or volunteer with our MODSQUAD, you help shape the future of art in our community.
