Have Your Next Meeting or Event at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts
“Holding a board meeting, a reception or even a full sit-down dinner in a museum … will often make the event more memorable.” — The Meeting Professional magazine
“The Art of Entertaining”
A Distinctive Venue
The Frist Center, which originally opened in 1934 as Nashville’s downtown post office, not only houses masterworks, but is a masterpiece itself. An exceptionally elegant expression of Art Deco style, it’s not just a beautiful space, but a space in time. And it’s the only space in Nashville your group can share with the world’s great masters.
A Versatile Venue
You’ll find that the Frist Center is one of Nashville’s most exquisite venues. The atmosphere, the exhibitions, and the variety of event spaces offer unique surroundings and options for a range of events-from meetings to cocktail receptions, banquets, private dinners, wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions, multi-media presentations, film screenings and even musical performances-all amid an ever-changing array of world-renowned works of art. Your group can even enjoy a full “run of the house,” with exclusive, after-hours access to all galleries.
