Arcade Arts Nashville is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose goal is to create and sustain a well-supported home for the visual arts in the newly renovated historic Arcade building located in the heart of downtown Nashville. Ten spaces, located upstairs in the Arcade, will be dedicated to a collection of working artists’ studios. Arcade Arts Nashville is responsible for curating those spaces and providing rent-free studio space for participating artists. In an additional eleventh space, Arcade Arts Nashville will initiate on-going programming that includes educational components (i.e. workshops, demonstrations, speakers), art crawls, curated art events, and other activities that foster a robust promotion of the arts and artists.
