Advocation for Creative Communities and Businesses

Lorenzo Swinton Gallery exists as a conduit for creators and collectors of the art world; our mission is to build a foundation that can serve our artists, clients and community through innovation, networking and creativity.

A Black-owned art gallery located in historic downtown Clarksville, Tennessee; Lorenzo Swinton Gallery has built its foundation on collaborating with surrounding businesses and galleries, a diversity of underrepresented and underdeveloped artists in their respected forms, while also supporting individuals who seek out to use art as a way of healing.  

In opening our doors to the Clarksville community, local patrons and enthusiasts of the arts in 2023, we have provided a gallery space for Tennessee local and regional artists to showcase their unique talents through our development of monthly group curated exhibitions. Through careful research, networking and collaboration with local galleries and businesses affiliated with art events and selection of diverse creatives, our gallery has focused on supporting the arts within our growing city as well as national. 

The Lorenzo Swinton Gallery uses innovative approaches in allowing our space to differ from our partnered gallery community. As we organize and design our curated events, we do so to bring to its downtown location art experiences of social standing, economic changes and diversity. We support this through inclusivity for all art practices and forms and networking with like-minded individuals with a vision of supporting artists. Our art programs and exhibitions are designated to affect alternative and reflective changes inside our everyday lives, helping our community engage in understanding and reflecting on past, current and future events in the ever-changing world.
