There is so much to do for the art afficionado in Nashville, TN, otherwise known as "Athens of the South".
The Frist Museum shows famous collections such as Georgia O'Keefe and the Masters of Watercolor, features Jazz in the lobby and live bands the first Friday of each month. The Cheekwood Botanical Center offers art showings whil walking through their beautiful gardens while listening to live music. The First Saturday Art Crawl is a monthly event where art (and wine) lovers walk from gallery to abundant gallery in downtown Nashville. The Parthenon, a full scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, located at Centennial Park in midtown Nashville, is also an art museum.
One can also attend the Nashville Film Festival which showcases independent International and local films at the Green Hills Theatres in mid April. Downtown is the Tennessee Performing Arts Center which is also the home of the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera and The Tennessee Repertory Theatre and also downtown is the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. On a smaller scale you can catch Improv and local theatre regularly at small, black box theatres around town.
These events only scratch the surface as there are showings at the many schools and Universities and, of course, live music everywhere you go in Nashville, as well.
