Each year, the Periscope: Artist Entrepreneur Training program culminates with the Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase. Our talented artist entrepreneurs will put their training to the test as they showcase their work and take the stage to pitch their creative businesses to the Nashville arts and business community.
Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase highlights the business acumen, innovative spirit, and artistic prowess of local artists, makers, and entrepreneurs across an array of artistic disciplines including visual art, music, functional art, spoken word, literary arts and more.
Throughout the evening, experience the Artist Entrepreneur Showcase, where guests are invited to enjoy refreshments with other members of the Nashville creative and business community while connecting directly with the 2026 Periscope Artist Entrepreneurs at their showcase booths. Learn about their creative business plans and how the community can support their entrepreneurial dreams.
The night also includes the Periscope Pitch where 8 artist entrepreneurs will pitch their creative businesses live on stage! Selected through two preliminary rounds over the summer, these artists have earned the opportunity to share their vision with the Nashville arts and business community and to win cash and prizes.
The 2026 Periscope Pitch + Artist Entrepreneur Showcase will take place Wednesday, September 9 at OZ Arts
