Join us for a look back at key moments in the development of Nashville’s visual-art community with some of the women who led the way. Moderated by curator, writer, and historian Susan W. Knowles, this conversation features a panel of visionary women or their daughters, all of whom have worked with artists featured in In Her Place: Nashville Artists in the Twenty-First Century.
The panelists include:
- Dr. Carol Creswell-Betsch, whose mother Pearl was the director of the Carl Van Vechten Gallery at Fisk University from 1949 to 1990.
- Carol Stein, who opened Cumberland Gallery in Green Hills in 1980.
- Samantha Saturn, founder of Artville and the daughter or Nancy Saturn who, with Alice Zimmerman, opened Zimmerman Saturn Gallery on Second Avenue in downtown Nashville in 1985.
- Adrienne Outlaw, artist, journalist, curator, and founder of the Seed Space creative lab in Wedgewood-Houston in 2009.
- Katie Shaw, founder of Red Arrow Gallery, which opened in East Nashville in 2014.
