Have you heard? Chihuly is coming to Cheekwood! An exhibit featuring the work of one of the world’s most acclaimed glass artists begins Saturday. On display throughout the gardens, it’s a perfect way to maintain social distancing while enjoying world-class art. But that’s not all! Kindling Arts Festival, a fiscally sponsored project of the Arts & Business Council, is hosting a new work titled Sweet Relief: Dances for the Wash Room online and OZ Arts Nashville + The Porch Writer’s Collective are premiering a video of writers responding to this year’s season at OZ Arts. Did we mention that teens are taking over the Frist Art Museum too? It’s a jam-packed time to enjoy the arts and uplift your creative spirit!
