Take 121 Art Gallery becomes simply Take Arts...
Take 121 Arts & Framo Product, Inc. has survived relocating! We are 1/2 mile north of Harding & I-65 at 3656 Trousdale, in Suite 112,. The new gallery is more functional, more accessible and actually more fun than before. (Our signage has not been changed yet, so it still says Savage Furniture Gallery.) In addition, we have a parking lot right outside our door with plenty of FREE parking.
Our mission has always been to provide solutions, so we have named the gallery:
Take Arts and Tailored Frame Solutions
The space is a working gallery, so our services and selections are now integrated together. We are committed to providing solutions for every genre and budget. Our creativity and integrity in packaging art is stronger than ever. Chris Gowen has been named Creative Director with the move.
If you didn't know, we make house calls giving us the opportunity to understand the needs of your space and design tastes better. We offer suggestions on the perfect eyelines for your home or office. Likewise, our corporate design and planning provides added value for your customers and employees. We offer wholesale and corporate discounts as well.
We invite you to come take a look at the new Take, and keep us in mind for all your framing and design needs. For those who visit our new location before November 1st, we are offering some great discounts, incentives and gifts, so come by for a nice surprise - just say trick or treat! (We have a huge selection of overstock, precut frames that needs to be liquidated ASAP). Bring us something to frame and we'll make you a great deal on a custom order.
For our designers, we are offering a new, exciting concept whereby you can call and reserve a desk, certain beverages, ie. coffee, bottled water or wine, for you and your client(s) and our assistance in providing our wide choice of art and framing solutions conveniently. This spares you having to come and pick up art and framing samples for your client(s), saving you and your client(s) time and gas. What could be more convenient? As we introduce this solution, we welcome your input and suggestions in order to make this work even better.
One more special feature is that we can still offer our space for very low prices as a venue to have weddings, receptions, parties, meetings and more for up to 125 guests. Be sure to call our event specialist, Randi Lesnick, at 615-662-3539, for information.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Anthony Billups: Around Town
On Saturday August 2nd, Take 121 will host the opening of Anthony Billup's show entitled Around Town. This show is the night of the monthly gallery crawl event.
Anthony Billups expresses his love for music, and for Nashville, with his large scale mixed media pieces that layer sheet music, newspaper and appropriated imagery of Music City, with text of music lyrics."I do art not only to show what it looks like, but to show what it feels like to be here. I love stories, I love history and what I absolutely love about this city is that everywhere you turn, there are those stories and that history." Billups came to art somewhat accidently. Originally attending college to play baseball, a rare illness took Billups's sight.
His love of music helped him through the difficulties of struggling with losing his eyesight. When he realized the illness had impaired his ability to play ball, he fell back on his love of music and art. Billups has since overcome the illness that took his eyesight to focus his career on the arts. "I know whole-heartedly that I appreciate where I am so much more from that experience. I take in what I am seeing and what I am experiencing in a fond appreciation for that place and moment."
Take 121 will hold an opening reception on Saturday August 2nd as part of the August Gallery Crawl from 6-9 pm. The event is sponsored by Digital Rodeo and Cadillac Ranch and Yazoo beer and San Antonio Taco Company will provide refreshments.
We are proud to showcase Dr. Ming Wang's Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration as our featured charity for the evening. A portion of the proceeds from the night of the event will go to The Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration. Acoustic music will be performed by Luke Amelang and Anthony, with a special musical performance by Dr. Ming Wang.
For more information concerning the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration please visit the Wang Foundation website
