Arcade Arts Nashville is a new initiative whose goal is to create and sustain a well-supported home for the visual arts and offer affordable studio space for artists in the newly renovated historic Arcade building located in the heart of downtown Nashville. Ten studio spaces, located upstairs in the Arcade, will be dedicated to our Artist in Residence program. Arcade Arts Nashville is responsible for providing rent-free studio space to participating artists and initiating on-going programs that include professional development components, art crawls, curated art events, and other activities that foster a robust promotion of the arts and artists. The goal is to create a diverse community of emerging, established and student artists.
