History

Established in 1985.

In 1985, Jeanne Kronsnoble and an artist friend opened a studio in

Clayton, GA where they could create and display their own art work. Before long, Jeanne’s interest in the local folk art became a passion and she began traveling the back roads throughout the Southeast to meet artists, hear their stories and collect their work. In 1996, the gallery moved into an historic storefront space to showcase the work of these

self-​taught artists.

The three floors of the gallery abound with artwork by over seventy-​five artists. The work includes wood, metal, and found object sculpture, as well as primitive furniture, paintings and Southern folk pottery. Recently, fine art, jewelry, and international pottery were added, but contemporary folk art is still the specialty.

Main Street Gallery has been featured in many publications including Southern Living Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, and The New York Times.
