NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Artober Nashville, a program of NowPlayingNashville, will celebrate the 11th anniversary of its annual celebration of the arts in Nashville and Middle Tennessee beginning Monday, Sept. 26 through Monday, Oct. 31.
Nashvillian Michelle Reeves is this year’s Artober Nashville Featured Artist. Her work “Woven” was chosen to represent the background of the 2022 month-long celebration logo.
Held each October, Artober Nashville is a month-long celebration of the arts in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. The program is operated by NowPlayingNashville, an initiative of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which features events year-round on its website.
During this month-long sitewide takeover on NowPlayingNashville, visitors to ArtoberNashville.com will find hundreds of arts and cultural events — many unique to the month of October — in every discipline, including visual and performing arts, music, history, language, and film.
Also featured:
• ArtoberTV each Monday, highlighting ways to celebrate the month, with interviews in the arts community.
