Weekend Arts Preview 8/10–8/11

This weekend in Nashville, check out the 16th annual Tomato Art Fest coinciding with the monthly Eastside Arts Stumble, but East Nashville isn’t the only neighborhood being celebrated this weekend. Opening Saturday, the Frist Art Museum presents Murals of North Nashville Now, which shines a light on a culturally and historically important Nashville community. But that’s not all. Enjoy a show at Nashville Children’s Theater or the Nashville Symphony or check out the Nashville Ballet’s open house this Saturday. There’s something for everyone this weekend in our famously creative city!
