From the Director

Greetings,

There is a palpable momentum for the visual arts in Nashville. The monthly art crawl, pop-up galleries, a fashion week, a film festival, and much more add to the exciting energy of seasonal favorites such as Frist Fridays, which occur the last Friday of the month May through August. Please mark your calendar to join us for great music, to mix and mingle, and to have fun all in a fine-arts setting.  

Art can touch our most complex emotions as well as our social instincts. In an uncertain world, we may feel anxious. There are times when we seek the restorative powers of silence and stillness. Beauty can awaken that which is most noble in the human heart and mind. There is also an art to uncovering the full potential of our creativity, imagination, and learning to see not only with our eyes but also with our minds.

We hope you will find the art experience you seek.  Our vision is to inspire each of you through art to look at your world in new ways.

Susan H. Edwards, Ph.D.
Executive Director
