PART-TIME  ☻  NASHVILLE, TN

Gladly Gather is a community space and gift shop in Nashville, TN, housing gifts and gatherings that celebrate belonging. We're rooted in values of justice, belonging, and dignity, and our events and experiences bring those values to life! In our retail shop, we carry illustrated art, stationery, and other goods that inspire everyday advocates to seek justice and stay hopeful. We focus on stocking brands founded by members of historically excluded communities.

Gladly Gather also functions as the HQ of Oh Happy Dani, an illustration-based lifestyle & creative activism brand with a thriving online community and shop. We're a small-but-mighty team dedicated to intentional, bold, and inspiring good work.
