Are you interested in advocating for the Arts in your community and your state, but don't know where to start?
Join us for Arts Forward Advocacy for the Arts 101 where Susan Robinson and Bob Willie of Tennesseans for the Arts will give a crash course on Tennesseans for the Arts, organizing the story of your personal connection to the arts in connection with empirical data.
The second hour will be led by Marcus Ellsworth to discuss the initiatives that the Arts Forward focus group will hone in on over the next few months.
This is to help prepare and hype our community to start locally, but also to advocate on a state level for Arts Advocacy Day on the Hill in Nashville on March 11, 2020. https://www.tn4arts.org/advocacy/arts-advocacy-day
In an effort for the fees to participate to not be a barrier, Arts Build has generously offered four scholarships for Arts Day on the Hill email James Mckissic at james@artsbuild.com for more information on the scholarships.
Barking Legs Theater is a superb, intimate concert hall and performance venue that has established a reputation as a great place for musicians and listeners alike. We are known throughout the Southeast as a venue with great acoustics and remarkable intimacy. Barking Legs is a listener’s dream, where each note and word rings clearly, promoting the sort of rapt attention impossible in the typical club or barroom setting. Performers love it! Our 80 fixed seats all have great sight lines and we can accommodate overflow crowds up to 175. Our in-house events offer a concession area and you are invited to take your beverages with you into the theater. And if you’re curious about the name, its origin stems from the “bark leggins” that were worn by scouts and woodsmen of the Appalachian region in the last century.
