In the late 90s, the earliest discussions about the creation of the Frist Art Museum revolved around the founders’ commitments to bring the greatest art in the world to Nashville, and to make the museum open and welcoming to all. Founding principles of inclusion and accessibility have been pillars of the institution since before our opening in April 2001.
One of our primary goals is for our visitation to mirror the demographics of our community.
The input of our museum guests is critical for us to better understand our successes and shortcomings, and we ask our guests to help us. Periodically, we conduct on-site surveys, and when we do, we hope you will share basic information about yourself and your thoughts about the museum. Information will be collected anonymously.
If you are interested in volunteering at the Frist or becoming a docent, please visit our Volunteer page to express your interest.
As we approach our 25th anniversary, we remain grateful for all the ways the community has embraced us. By continuing to inspire people to look at the world in new ways, we look forward to putting art at the center of civil, equitable and tolerant discourse for many decades to come.
