Field Trip this week! Let's check out a possible venue

CONGRATS TO GINNY FOR HER POSTER DESIGN FOR "The Island of Misfit Art"


THIS WEEK's MEETING - FIELD TRIP TO POSSIBLE VENUE!!!
We will be meeting at the Due West Professional Building on Gallatin Pike South.
You may be familiar with this building as "Art Space". We will be checking out the building as a possible Untitled show venue, as well as getting to know what opportunities are available for artists. See below for address and directions!

CALL FOR SHOW CHAIRS FOR "The Island of Misfit Art"
Thank you to those special people who have stepped up to chair and co-chair!
We are still looking for some fine folks to fill the break down and volunteer liaison positions. If you have questions about these positions, email us or come to the meeting!

Most chair positions require no experience and are a great way to learn marketable skills, meet new people, and receive praises from all. Plus, you'll get a warm, fuzzy satisfaction by being a part of the planning and execution of one of the biggest, longest-running and most well-attended and anticipated art exhibits in Nashville.

We encourage artists to team up and co-chair. Show chairs do not pay participation fees!

To learn more about volunteering as a chair, visit our volunteer page:
