Hello everyone,

Lots of stuff has been brewing. We have a name and venue for our Fall show:

But we still need a poster. And we still need to fill some chair positions, very soon!

We also have a workshop coming up and some special out-of-town guests visiting us this week. Read below for more info…

PANEL RESTORATION
You know those big white things we hang artwork on at shows? Well it’s time to make them look beautiful again.

The small amount of time you spend can keep one panel looking sharp for up to a year. Stop by, grab a brush, and slap some paint; you can be in and out in a flash or show up early and stay late. Our members and patrons have come to expect a professional installation at Untitled shows and this is a big part of meeting that expectation.

When: Saturday, September 1^st 9:30am – noon
Where: Our storage unit, centrally located off I-65 and Wedgewood close to the fairgrounds.
Email us if you’d like to help and haven’t signed up yet. info@untitlednashville.org
