Nashville Artists Address Food Justice and Production in New Exhibition

The Frist partnered with Buchanan Arts, the Nashville Food Project, the Tennessee Justice Center, and Unearthing Joy and held an open call for Nashville-area artists to submit art for consideration that explores food justice and food’s role in bringing people together. The resulting exhibition, Enough to Go Around, is now open in the always-free Conte Community Arts Gallery and serves as a companion to Farm to Table and Tennessee Harvest, 1870s–1920s.

Know a teen who’s interested in filmmaking?

We are excited to partner again with the Nashville Film Festival to offer a fast-paced Film Camp where teens will learn from experienced industry professionals to create a short film, from concept to completion, all in one week!

Working in small production teams, teens will develop a concept, script, shot list, and production plan and learn how to perform several production and/or acting roles, shoot a five-minute film using professional gear provided by Contrast Cine, and craft a polished final edit.
