Name:
Nashville’ s Village Art Walk will be undergoing some major changes this year thanks to a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission( via the National Endowment for the Arts).
$ 5,000 was awarded to the Arts Village Brown County Cultural District. $ 2,000 of the grant is earmarked for a set of artistic banners to be placed at the four corners of Main and Van Buren Streets in the heart of the village. The remaining amount will be used to support the Art Walk.
The Art Walks switched from the second Saturday to the fourth Friday of the month and will occur April through October from 4 to 7 p. m. The events moved from the auspices of Art Alliance Brown County to the Nashville Arts and Entertainment Commission. The Art Walk has a new logo, new signs, banners, and brochures.
12 galleries are participating in the Art Walks this year( the most ever): Hoosier Artist, Hereshome, The Emerald Pencil, B3 Gallery, Ascension Fine Arts, Brown County Art Guild, 4th Sister Vintage, Chateau Thomas Winery, Spears Gallery, Brown County Craft Gallery, Trilogy Gallery, and the Brown County Art Gallery.
The Art Walks include food, music, and wine tasting with some demonstrations and paint-alongs.
Special art and events will be offered this year for attendees of the Indiana Fingerstyle Guitar Competition and the Hoosier Epic Mountain Bike Weekend.
