THE LAND IS SPEAKING | ARE YOU LISTENING
Artist is of Cherokee heritage and a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw. His vibrant work, which is represented in more than twenty permanent collections across the United States, is a call for Indigenous empowerment as well as q***r visibility and environmental sustainability.
THE BODY ELECTRIC presents his recent paintings, sculpture, video, and installations, along with a large site-specific mural THE LAND IS SPEAKING | ARE YOU LISTENING. The exhibition’s title is inspired by a song written for the 1980 movie musical Fame, which drew from Walt Whitman’s poem “I Sing the Body Electric” from his 1855 collection Leaves of Grass. The lyrics reverently acknowledge our place in the natural world while honoring the universality of endings and beginnings.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Nashville artist and teacher, Catharine Hollifield, discusses the NASHVILLE ART TEACHERS: BEYOND THE CLASSROOM exhibition at the #FristArtMuseum which salutes the heroic efforts of teachers during the challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition, on view in our Conte Community Arts Gallery through August 28, features the work of elementary, middle, and high school art teachers working in Davidson County. Jurors narrowed over three hundred submissions from eighty teachers to this remarkable selection of thirty-three works, showcasing artists who are skilled in diverse media and emphasize a variety of themes. These artists share their observations, perceptions of the world around them, and personal stories through their art.

Jeffrey Gibson's: The Body Electric is coming to Frist Art Museum on February 3rd and will be on display through April 23rd!
This major exhibition is devoted to one of today’s leading artists, whose multidisciplinary practice combines aspects of traditional Indigenous art and culture with a modernist visual vocabulary. Born in Colorado in 1972, Jeffrey Gibson is of Cherokee heritage and a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw. His vibrant work, which is represented in more than twenty permanent collections across the United States, is a call for Indigenous empowerment as well as q***r visibility and environmental sustainability.
The Body Electric presents his recent paintings, sculpture, video, and installations, along with a large site-specific mural THE LAND IS SPEAKING | ARE YOU LISTENING. The exhibition’s title is inspired by a song written for the 1980 movie musical Fame, which drew from Walt Whitman’s poem “I Sing the Body Electric” from his 1855 collection Leaves of Grass. The lyrics reverently acknowledge our place in the natural world while honoring the universality of endings and beginnings.

Michellee Hartley, a Visual Communications A.A.S. major with a focus on Graphic Design, was recently named an intern at the Frist Art Museum after a highly selective interview process. Hartley, who is getting paid and will be focusing on graphic design, said, “This internship means I have a chance to take another step closer to a career that I enjoy. Nashville State and the Frist have given me an opportunity to prove myself and I am immensely grateful.”

Thank you, NewsChannel 5 Nashville and Aaron Cantrell for shining a light on our art appreciation program at Frist Art Museum. It is always a joy to see our participants' eyes light up when they see beautiful and thought-provoking art. Then, they get to make art! We'll be announcing new dates for 2023 soon!
