Pat Buckley Moss painted our town.

“The largest Pat Buckley Moss dealer in the Southeast, with over 1,000 P. Buckley Moss items in stock at all times (including rare prints and originals).” Prints from the early 1970s to now, the hard to find secondary prints, and signed and framed Moss ready to take home.

Some of the best ones are of right here: the carousel downtown, Bays Mountain Park, the Kingsport Farmer’s Market.

What people say after they walk in

4.9 stars on Google. A few, word for word:

“Mike and Lisa Ann are brilliant entrepreneurs and the whole collection is fascinating. The framing is expensive but WORTH EVERY PENNY. If you have something framed at one of the discount places (if you know, you know), you will eventually be bringing it to Up Against the Wall to get it done properly, so you might as well come here first.”

“Up Against the Wall Gallery is one of the most welcoming stores you will find in downtown Kingsport. The staff is very helpful and offers above and beyond service. Great for gifts as well.”

“Perfect place to get lost in. A very relaxing atmosphere. I was looking for a nice white elephant gift for Christmas. They had a wide variety to choose from that were reasonably priced. I picked a wooden bowl which turned out to be a huge hit. Great hidden jewel in downtown kingsport.”
