DON’T MISS Artclectic, a shining star in the bright galaxy of Nashville arts festivals and fundraisers.

Every October of every year for the past 15 years, more than 50 emerging and established artists, chosen by a nationally recognized guest juror, have gathered in an ad hoc arts village at University School of Nashville—think “SoHo comes to Nashville.” Artclectic presents a diverse assortment of art and artists in an incredibly lively setting (just visit the Event page to get a hint of what that looks like).

What began 15 years ago as a desire to bring artists and their artwork to this independent, non-sectarian K12 school for a fundraiser has since evolved into a nationally respected art show and community gathering, one that attracts thousands of visitors during the annual four-day event.

Proceeds from the event are earmarked for the Artclectic Endowment Fund for Innovative Teaching.

Whether you want to buy art, meet artists, make art in the free Art Factory, or just stroll the spacious gallery to enrich yourself with a weekend of art, DON’T MISS Artclectic.
