Weekend Arts Preview 2/7–2/9

It’s a snowy winter weekend in Nashville, but don’t let the cold keep you at home! There’s plenty of arts activities worth braving the weather to attend over the next few days. See the dynamic musical duo (and ABC board members!) Louis York make history live onstage at the Grand Ole Opry this Friday. Experience the music of Star Wars with the Nashville Symphony or stumble through a cornucopia of visual creation at the East Side Art Stumble. Did we mention that the Nashville Rep is staging A Streetcar Named Desire? Immerse yourself in Nashville’s creative community this weekend!
