Picasso's Gift Shop

09/15/2026

We are so excited to share some news with our amazing community: Picasso's Gift Shop is growing!

Thanks to your incredible support and the talents of so many local artists and makers, we’ve officially outgrown our current shop. We will be moving into the space next door, giving us the room we need to bring you even more of what you love about Picasso’s.

We will have space for an expanded selection of gifts, home decor, and unique local finds. We’ll also have exciting new products we’ve been wanting to bring in as well as workshops and classes, like basket weaving, fused glass, succulent plantscapes and more!

We want to send a warm thank you to our friends at The Table Board Game Lounge for being wonderful neighbors over the years as they prepare for their next quest.

Thank you for being the heart of our journey. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new, bigger space in October!

Behind the scenes look at a woodworker's work space! Tommy's work will soon be at Picasso's Gift Shop! He will debut at our annual yard sale on October 3, then his work will be in the shop soon after!

Picasso's Gift Shop is at 18 W Spring Street in Cookeville's Spring Street Arts District near Dairy Queen. We're open daily 10-6 except closed Wednesday.

We’ve been a little busy around here lately!

We don’t typically leave the shop looking quite this messy, but with the extreme heat advisories we’ve been dealing with, cleaning up just hasn’t been very high on my list of things to do.

When it’s this hot, I’d much rather keep building than spend what little energy I have left cleaning!

We’ll get it cleaned up… eventually. 😉
