Section 1: April 11–25, 2013
Section 2: May 2–16, 2013
Created as an opportunity to recognize the artistic accomplishments of Metro Nashville Public School students, Mayor Phil Bredesen launched the Mayor’s Art Show during his term in the 1990s. The Frist Art Museum began hosting this annual art show in 2004 during Mayor Bill Purcell’s term and is continuing the tradition with Mayor Karl Dean.
The 2013 Mayor’s Art Show is composed of two sections. This exhibition, in its tenth year at the Frist Art Museum, will feature works by students from a total of sixty four schools in our Upper-Level Education Corridor. From April 11–25, the first show will feature works by students from thirty-one schools from seven clusters—Antioch, Cane Ridge, Glencliff, Hillsboro, Hunters Lane, Pearl-Cohn, and Stratford. From May 2–16, the second show will feature works by students from thirty-four schools in six clusters—Hillwood, Maplewood, McGavock, Overton, and Whites Creek.
Art teachers in each school were able to select two works per grade level for inclusion in the exhibition. The variety of images and subject matter reflects the diverse backgrounds and ideas of Metro schoolchildren.
