2) Announcement - 2010 Call For Artists!

Art & Invention Gallery invites you to apply to their upcoming show, “Bells Bend: A Sense of Place”. This show is open to all artists who have created work connected to Bell’s Bend- its landscapes, people, history and future.

Bells Bend is a place where the past—at least ten thousand years of human history—is still visible and the present is very much alive. Some Nashvillians see it as a garden district, others as ancient dirt filled with ten thousand years of history. Some come with their binoculars, while others arrive with jogging shoes or bicycles. At least one plays the fiddle at the local market.

Some view it as pure landscape—barns and rolling fields, while others have more urban visions.

The Vision of “Bell’s Bend: A Sense of Place”, is to let each artist express their ideas and point of view about this wonderful place. What is your take?

Exhibit runs from April 24, 2010 – June 6, 2010, with an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 24 from 6:00pm- 9:00pm
