May 1 – 30

We’re taking the arts outside! This May, enjoy programming combining art and nature with a rotating line-up of Nashville’s best visual and performing artists. Saturday workshops will stretch your skills and Sunday instrumental performances will chase away your worries.

For the second year, Cheekwood will invite established Nashville painters to use our spring flowers as inspiration in the annual En Plein Air exhibition. Painters will be on-site throughout the month, creating works in the open air, which will go on display in June. The exhibition not only emphasizes the potency of local, Nashville artists but explores a variety of inventive ways in which enraptured artists record their moments in nature.
