Something big is coming to Nashville this November.
On November 14, the Arts + Business Council takes over Studio 615 for Big Night for the Arts—an immersive celebration of human creativity and the vibrant creative community that makes Nashville extraordinary.
Created in celebration of our 20th anniversary, Big Night brings artists and audiences together for a one-night-only experience spanning visual art, live performance, music, food, interactive installations, and unexpected creative moments.
This isn’t a traditional gala. It’s a night designed to be explored, experienced, and shared.
Guests will embark in small groups, each following a different path through the space and encountering performances, installations, music, food, and surprises along the way. No two groups will experience Big Night in quite the same way.
And dinner isn't just dinner. A renowned Nashville chef is collaborating with participating artists to create a menu inspired by—and integrated into—the artistic experiences unfolding throughout the night.
Your Immersive Experience ticket includes the full evening, from the opening program through the Big Night After Party.
Join artists, creative entrepreneurs, arts supporters, and friends from across Nashville for a high-energy celebration featuring music, art, connection, and a few more surprises.
Come for the full experience or meet us at the After Party. Either way, expect a night unlike anything we've done before.
Arts + Business Council members will receive an exclusive ticket link by email on September 28, giving members early access before public sales begin.

Big Night for the Arts is the Arts + Business Council's new signature annual fundraiser, connecting Nashville's artists, arts organizations, and creative entrepreneurs with the knowledge, resources, opportunities, and relationships they need to thrive.
Every ticket helps connect a Nashville artist with the tools and support they need to build their creative career—from free legal services and business support to affordable housing, mentorship, and more.
