Project Access is a collaborative program between the Frist Center and Nashville Public Library. This program models how museums and libraries can work together to expand their services to the public, with an emphasis on serving the community, using technology, and enhancing education.

Project Access is designed to help increase adult English language learners’ skill in language, arts, and computer literacy. Participants in the program will engage in art-making, computer-based learning, and museum and library visits through various local community organizations such as Tennessee Foreign Language Institute, United Way Family Resouce Centers, and Metropolitan Nashville Adult Education Programs. Little Planet Learning, a Nashville technology company, has designed Project Access’s website with arts and Nashville native Red Grooms as host of the site.  The website allows the program to have a wider impact in the community and nationally. A feature of this website will allow visitors to access their artwork created in the Frist Center's Martin ArtQuest Gallery that is stored on ArtQuest’s digital portfolio.
