About
Gift Horse was created by Jessica Maloan Vastagh, a native Tennessean who studied graphic design. Before opening the store, she worked in printmaking and sold hand-printed greeting cards at regional craft fairs. Recognizing that “Nashville needed a local art market,” she set out to establish a community space for independent artists. Vastagh co-founded Porter Flea before opening Gift Horse in August 2016. The shop continues to center independent artists and illustrators, with an emphasis on locally made goods in its selection.
