It’s the last weekend of the month, a time we all look forward to here at EastNashvilleBlog.com because we get to see new art at all the local galleries participating in ArtEast.
This month’s spotlight at Art and Invention Gallery is on Bell’s Bend: A Sense of Place, featuring work connected to “the landscapes, people, history and future of Bell’s Bend.” The show features the work of Anne R. Williams, Brenda Butka, Denise Hawkins, DiAnne Patrick, Don Evans, Jean Gauld-Jaeger, Jim Osborn, Joel Knapp, John Kuenneth, Lisa Rivas, Martha Berry, Mary Sue Kern, Nathalie Van Balen, Paul Schatckin, Sheila B., and Stacey Irvin.
Betty Badd's at Billups Art (say that five times fast!)
Over at Billups Art it’s all about Betty Malo, the artist behind Betty Badd Couture who was named MTV’s designer of the year. Greta Gaines will be the musical act at the monthly ArtEast after-party at Billups.
Translation is still running at Open Lot (though, sadly, Jozef van Willem and his Jimmy Page-style lute have disappeared into East Nashville history). And local artist Dustin Dirt’s show Hide and Go Freak, which opens this Thursday, will continue to run in the new Octane Gallery at Kustom Thrills Tattoo.
The work of Team Rhodes will be up at Humankind
Daniel Hawks‘ gallery Studio 83 and socially conscious thrift store Humankind, both located at the giant complex housed at 604 Gallatin Road, will each host the work of a number of artists. Studio 83 will be the night’s home for artists Robert Cortner and Cheryl Darnell, while Humankind will shine a light on Antwan Hamilton, Lloyd Bruce Tucker, and Josh and Sarah Rhodes, known together as Team Rhodes.
It's mystery night at Fanny's House of Music
Bongo Java features the artwork of the Meigs Magnet Middle School Eighth Grade Advanced Art Class. Wonders on Woodland, Back East, and Cloud 12, all located together at 1110 Woodland Street, are teaming up for A Fun Art Show with the work of local artists Jerry Uselton, Lori Honig, Fernando Cadena and Debbie G. And Fanny’s House of Music has “a mystery stew of art and musical entertainment” booked for the night.
Looks like there will be a little something for everyone, as we’ve come to expect from ArtEast. All the participating galleries will stay open from 6pm-9pm on Saturday, April 24, with the after-party at Billups kicking off around 9:30pm.
