we are excited too

We’re excited to partner with The Blue Chair Tavern as a Frame Gallery Art Partner!

Through this program, we’re bringing original work by local and regional artists into places around our community where people already gather, dine, and spend time. The artwork will change throughout the year, giving you a chance to discover something new—and every piece is available for purchase through Frame Gallery.

The Blue Chair is featuring Lawrence Ellis’s stunning hand-folded Sewanee Tiger paper sculptures. They’re a perfect way to celebrate this artist and the Sewanee spirit.

So the next time you’re at The Blue Chair, take a look at the walls. You might just find your next favorite piece of art.

Frame Gallery Art Partners — bringing original art into the places we gather.

Would you like your business to become a Frame Gallery Art Partner? We’d love to talk with you about bringing rotating original art into your space.

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Today, on September 11th, the team at The Blue Chair Tavern pauses to reflect on the tragic events of 2001 and to honor the incredible bravery, sacrifice, and unity that emerged from that fateful day.

To the heroes who ran toward danger twenty-five years ago, and to our local police officers, firefighters, and EMTs who stand resolutely every single day to protect and serve our community—THANK YOU.

Your courage and dedication inspire us all.

We are incredibly proud to support our local first responders.

Today and every day, we stand united in gratitude for your service.

If you see a first responder today, take a moment to show them your gratitude.

Let’s keep their spirit of community and resilience alive. ❤️🤍💙
