Heart & Soul
A
BY TIFFANY VANCE
ntonio Stradivari crafted some of the
finest stringed instruments the world
has ever known. Though he used the
same materials as everyone else, this particular
artisan poured his heart and soul into each piece.
Metaphysical connections notwithstanding,
there is something about the way the master
assembles the materials that simply makes
the piece. This is the philosophy of Michael
Damico, owner of Damico Frame & Art
Gallery in Franklin, TN.
Michael is more than
just a framer, he is an
accomplished artist with
a finely attuned eye for
beauty and unwillingness
to settle for anything
less than superior quality
Michael Damico
productions.
Michael does custom picture framing for
customers, artists, and photographers at
every level, from beginner to expert, as
well as anyone in need of printing. He
specializes in color management using the
highest quality methods of production.
These productions include:
• Custom Framing
• Wide Format Art & Photo Printing on
Various Surfaces
• Wide Format Scanning
• Giclee Fine Art Reproductions
• Photo Resotoration
• Commission Fine Art with Portraits
The most popular print materials are those
on canvas, textured watercolor paper, and hot
press smooth fine art paper. All the materials
Michael uses are certifiably archival, including
the inks with which he prints.
“My scanner, computer, and printers are all
speaking the same language. All of this equals
great output. The old saying ‘you get out what
you put in’ applies here because I’m scanning at
the absolute threshold of what the printers are
actually capable of expressing,” said Michael.
Because Michael uses his printers set on the
maximum amount of ink coverage, he is able to
capture a wide range of color. Additionally, he
uses custom digital profiles specially designed
for each type of substrate upon which the
images are printed.
Most of the artists and photographers Michael
works with utilize him for a one-stop shopping
experience. Not only does he do their print
work for them, but also customers are able to
select the perfect custom frame right in the
store. He has a wide range of elegant frame
designs, from traditional to contemporary.
Further, he has a knack for matching any style
or taste with nearly every budget.
“Michael has really high quality output. All of it: the colors, the canvas, and even the
stretcher frames and hardware. It’s his attention to detail.” —Roy Laws, artist
Michael Damico and his work
“The quality and accuracy of colors! It’s like
Mike knows more about what I want than I do.
Plus, I know he has the eye of an artist so he
can determine if the colors are accurate,” said
realism painter Diane Davich.
More than a custom framer, Michael has a
clear understanding of where customers want
to take their vision and he is able to help them
get there. Michael is a skilled artist with more
than 20 years professional experience and
formal training as an artist. He also has more
than 10 years professional experience as a
custom conservation picture frame craftsman.
Many of his artist and photographer customers
allow him to customize their retail products.
Whether they are preparing for a festival or
gallery opening, he guides them to ensure they
will have a good variety of products to sell
along with their originals in a way that allows
them to capitalize on most any price range.
This may include, for example, a range of giclee
prints along with the complete set of products
such as the print, mat, backing, and a clear
sleeve for each piece.
“It’s like working with a friend; he gives
good honest advice.” —Jim House, artist
Michael is equally passionate about guiding
artists and photographers to create sustainable
business strategies and tactics. He created a
free calculator to help them with pricing their
works, including originals and prints. His years
of experience in the framing industry and as
an artist have given him a deep understanding
of what works in the marketplace. He is eager
to share with other creatives his knowledge of
how to build a business model that will turn
their talents into profit.
Anyone can create a frame. Anyone can print
a piece of art. But like Stradivari, Michael
pours his heart and soul into every piece. It
is with passion and profound skill that this
master performs his crafts. To learn more

“The painted expression of the artist’s vision
is incredibly intimate. Viewing a work of
art is the most direct way to experience the
internal landscape
of another human
being. Art is a
visceral sharing
experience. The
artist becomes both
performer and
performance, and
the receptive viewer
shares the moment’s vision with the artist.
This shared vision is a complete experience
of human connectedness.”

First Saturday Art Crawl
Downtown
PHOTOGRAPH BY JOHN JACKSON
Nashville’s first art walk, established in 2006,
recently celebrated its 100th crawl. First Saturday
Art Crawl Downtown takes place in the heart
of downtown, just a few blocks north of Lower
Broadway, where you will find sophisticated
premier galleries as well as intimate artists’
studios and exhibitions.
Anchored by 5th Avenue of the Arts featuring
The Arts Company, Tinney Contemporary, The
Rymer Gallery, and Downtown Presbyterian
Church, the downtown crawl continues to
expand and now includes the Country Music
Hall of Fame, Hatch Show Print, and the Frist
Center for the Visual Arts.
This lively urban experience wouldn’t be
complete without a visit to the historic Arcade,
a collection of artists’ studios and galleries, with
each space offering something different, from
cutting-edge contemporary installations to
photography, painting, and collegiate exhibits.
www.5thAvenueoftheArts.com
Arts & Music @
Wedgewood/Houston
Situated in what was once an industrial area, this
enclave of arts and music features old warehouses
and homes that have been converted into art
studios, recording studios, and commercial
galleries. Minutes from downtown, Arts &
Music @ Wedgewood/Houston also takes place
on the first Saturday of the month and includes
pop-ups, installations, and live music that often
lasts until late in the evening.
The area is bracketed by the minimalist concrete
and white Zeitgeist and David Lusk Gallery
building and Track One, originally a feed and
seed warehouse, which is now a multi-tenant
business and event space that is home to Seed
Space and CG2. The Chestnut Building, a
converted old hosiery factory, features open
artists’ studios and Ground Floor Gallery.
In between, find intimate spots such as Julia
Martin Gallery, 444 Humphreys, and The
Packing Plant. The newly renovated Houston
Station provides a high-end gallery experience
at Sherrick & Paul, pop-ups and performances
at abrasiveMedia, and additional spaces
converted to galleries for unrepresented artists.
Fort Houston offers exhibitions coupled with
hands-on activities and rock ‘n’ roll music.

Nashville is now one of the most exciting and talked about cities in the
country. After decades of being the city for music enthusiasts, Nashville is
also quickly becoming a destination for the visual arts. With museums, art
galleries, public art installations, and street art, it’s no wonder Nashville
was recently named the second most vibrant arts community in the country.
ArtGalleriesNashville is a new alliance of the city’s commercial fine art
galleries. Together they are working to promote the exciting visual arts in
the city and to foster continued long-term growth, ensuring Nashville
remains a vibrant community for many years to come. Through creative and
innovative endeavors, ArtGalleriesNashville will exhibit, market, and sell
the finest art possible. It will attract talked about talent, unique exhibitions,
and one-of-a-kind art experiences. You’re sure to find your next favorite
work of art once you explore ArtGalleriesNashville.Com
COURTESY OF ZEITGEIST
10 Questions on Art, Artists, and
the Nashville Arts Community
Lain York, Artist and Gallery Director, Zeitgeist
1
What changes in the arts have
you noticed?
The most exciting change I see is more
discerning patrons looking for diversity, more
focused work, and finding it here. Nashville
has always enjoyed a healthy studio artists’
community, and these days it’s exceptional.
Otherwise, it’s business as usual.
2
What about our arts community
excites you most right now?
A broad-based, grass-roots interest in what
artists do. Our greatest asset has always
been people; artists, arts professionals, and
forward-thinking individuals networking. As
most American cities currently emphasize the
direct contributions Creative Industry makes
in their respective communities, we see these
assets putting Nashville consistently ahead of
that curve leading the conversation.
3
What opportunities do you have
as an artist living here?
I think we tend to avoid a lot of the hassles
many others encounter in larger markets
Landscape: Briley PKWY (timber topper), 2014, Adhesive
vinyl, acrylic paint, 48” x 48”
and take advantage of Nashville’s livability
and existing infrastructure to get work done.
That’s why we see luminaries outside of
country music land here, like Jack White, the
Black Keys, etc.
4
What would you say to an artist
who is moving to Nashville?
Get involved. Immediately. Nashville built
its reputation in the visual arts by having
a very connected and friendly studio
community. Studio space is important,
and finding one with other artists around
you is how you build a network and find
opportunities.
5
What’s the best approach to
becoming part of the Nashville
arts scene?
The quickest way to introduce yourself to
artists and professionals is to become a
resource. Invite another artist to put up work
in your studio and invite people over to see
it. Give a show to get a show. It also helps to
attend as many openings as you can.
6
What do you like most about
living in Nashville?
7
What trends have you seen in the
arts over the years in Nashville?
It’s my hometown. I did not have to move to
a larger market city; it moved here.
I think of trends as industry mechanisms.
I have seen Art Crawls, the heyday of 35+
independent artists groups, the Studio/Gallery
scene, Maker Culture, Pop-ups, Art/Music/
Food Festivals, Creative Industry spearheading
Community Building and Commercial
Development, etc. This is Creative Industry
asserting itself. These manifestations are
always with us and individually move to the
forefront at auspicious moments. Looking
beyond trending and understanding why these
components occur within industry cycles is
crucial to their development.
8
What can visitors expect to see
when they go to galleries in various
neighborhoods in Nashville? Is there
something you’d say characterizes
“Nashville Style”?
“Nashville Style” has always been about
diversity. It’s Saturday Night and Sunday
Morning. It’s very focused, idea-based
work existing side by side with the most
traditional crafting. You can’t have one
without the other, and you will find these
things in any neighborhood currently
asserting itself.
White Frog/White Roach, 2014, Adhesive vinyl, acrylic
paint, 21” x 12”
9
What’s your idea of the perfect
art-filled day in town?
If we’re limiting it to visual art there is
certainly the Frist or Cheekwood, but I
would encourage folks to take in a show at
any of the college and university spaces, hit
any of the area commercial galleries, and find
an artist-run initiative or cooperative space.
For a more intimate experience, talk to any
of the area commercial spaces and have them
set up a couple of studio visits. Then get Hot
Chicken and go to Springwater.
10
What are some of the strengths
of our various arts institutions?
In what has traditionally been a relatively
small market, all aspects of the visual arts
industry here work together. Commercial
gallery artists teach in area university
programs, and artists running independent
initiatives are on staff with area museums and
arts commissions. One area informs the other.
When curators, artists, or anyone interested
visits and digs a bit deeper, the larger picture
of what the visual arts bring to this city comes
into focus.

Heart & Soul
A
BY TIFFANY VANCE
ntonio Stradivari crafted some of the
finest stringed instruments the world
has ever known. Though he used the
same materials as everyone else, this particular
artisan poured his heart and soul into each piece.
Metaphysical connections notwithstanding,
there is something about the way the master
assembles the materials that simply makes
the piece. This is the philosophy of Michael
Damico, owner of Damico Frame & Art
Gallery in Franklin, TN.
Michael is more than
just a framer, he is an
accomplished artist with
a finely attuned eye for
beauty and unwillingness
to settle for anything
less than superior quality
Michael Damico
productions.
Michael does custom picture framing for
customers, artists, and photographers at
every level, from beginner to expert, as
well as anyone in need of printing. He
specializes in color management using the
highest quality methods of production.
These productions include:
• Custom Framing
• Wide Format Art & Photo Printing on
Various Surfaces
• Wide Format Scanning
• Giclee Fine Art Reproductions
• Photo Resotoration
• Commission Fine Art with Portraits
The most popular print materials are those
on canvas, textured watercolor paper, and hot
press smooth fine art paper. All the materials
Michael uses are certifiably archival, including
the inks with which he prints.
“My scanner, computer, and printers are all
speaking the same language. All of this equals
great output. The old saying ‘you get out what
you put in’ applies here because I’m scanning at
the absolute threshold of what the printers are
actually capable of expressing,” said Michael.
Because Michael uses his printers set on the
maximum amount of ink coverage, he is able to
capture a wide range of color. Additionally, he
uses custom digital profiles specially designed
for each type of substrate upon which the
images are printed.
Most of the artists and photographers Michael
works with utilize him for a one-stop shopping
experience. Not only does he do their print
work for them, but also customers are able to
select the perfect custom frame right in the
store. He has a wide range of elegant frame
designs, from traditional to contemporary.
Further, he has a knack for matching any style
or taste with nearly every budget.
“Michael has really high quality output. All of it: the colors, the canvas, and even the
stretcher frames and hardware. It’s his attention to detail.” —Roy Laws, artist
Michael Damico and his work
“The quality and accuracy of colors! It’s like
Mike knows more about what I want than I do.
Plus, I know he has the eye of an artist so he
can determine if the colors are accurate,” said
realism painter Diane Davich.
More than a custom framer, Michael has a
clear understanding of where customers want
to take their vision and he is able to help them
get there. Michael is a skilled artist with more
than 20 years professional experience and
formal training as an artist. He also has more
than 10 years professional experience as a
custom conservation picture frame craftsman.
Many of his artist and photographer customers
allow him to customize their retail products.
Whether they are preparing for a festival or
gallery opening, he guides them to ensure they
will have a good variety of products to sell
along with their originals in a way that allows
them to capitalize on most any price range.
This may include, for example, a range of giclee
prints along with the complete set of products
such as the print, mat, backing, and a clear
sleeve for each piece.
“It’s like working with a friend; he gives
good honest advice.” —Jim House, artist
Michael is equally passionate about guiding
artists and photographers to create sustainable
business strategies and tactics. He created a
free calculator to help them with pricing their
works, including originals and prints. His years
of experience in the framing industry and as
an artist have given him a deep understanding
of what works in the marketplace. He is eager
to share with other creatives his knowledge of
how to build a business model that will turn
their talents into profit.
Anyone can create a frame. Anyone can print
a piece of art. But like Stradivari, Michael
pours his heart and soul into every piece. It
is with passion and profound skill that this
master performs his crafts. To learn more

“The painted expression of the artist’s vision
is incredibly intimate. Viewing a work of
art is the most direct way to experience the
internal landscape
of another human
being. Art is a
visceral sharing
experience. The
artist becomes both
performer and
performance, and
the receptive viewer
shares the moment’s vision with the artist.
This shared vision is a complete experience
of human connectedness.”

First Saturday Art Crawl
Downtown
PHOTOGRAPH BY JOHN JACKSON
Nashville’s first art walk, established in 2006,
recently celebrated its 100th crawl. First Saturday
Art Crawl Downtown takes place in the heart
of downtown, just a few blocks north of Lower
Broadway, where you will find sophisticated
premier galleries as well as intimate artists’
studios and exhibitions.
Anchored by 5th Avenue of the Arts featuring
The Arts Company, Tinney Contemporary, The
Rymer Gallery, and Downtown Presbyterian
Church, the downtown crawl continues to
expand and now includes the Country Music
Hall of Fame, Hatch Show Print, and the Frist
Center for the Visual Arts.
This lively urban experience wouldn’t be
complete without a visit to the historic Arcade,
a collection of artists’ studios and galleries, with
each space offering something different, from
cutting-edge contemporary installations to
photography, painting, and collegiate exhibits.
www.5thAvenueoftheArts.com
Arts & Music @
Wedgewood/Houston
Situated in what was once an industrial area, this
enclave of arts and music features old warehouses
and homes that have been converted into art
studios, recording studios, and commercial
galleries. Minutes from downtown, Arts &
Music @ Wedgewood/Houston also takes place
on the first Saturday of the month and includes
pop-ups, installations, and live music that often
lasts until late in the evening.
The area is bracketed by the minimalist concrete
and white Zeitgeist and David Lusk Gallery
building and Track One, originally a feed and
seed warehouse, which is now a multi-tenant
business and event space that is home to Seed
Space and CG2. The Chestnut Building, a
converted old hosiery factory, features open
artists’ studios and Ground Floor Gallery.
In between, find intimate spots such as Julia
Martin Gallery, 444 Humphreys, and The
Packing Plant. The newly renovated Houston
Station provides a high-end gallery experience
at Sherrick & Paul, pop-ups and performances
at abrasiveMedia, and additional spaces
converted to galleries for unrepresented artists.
Fort Houston offers exhibitions coupled with
hands-on activities and rock ‘n’ roll music.

Nashville is now one of the most exciting and talked about cities in the
country. After decades of being the city for music enthusiasts, Nashville is
also quickly becoming a destination for the visual arts. With museums, art
galleries, public art installations, and street art, it’s no wonder Nashville
was recently named the second most vibrant arts community in the country.
ArtGalleriesNashville is a new alliance of the city’s commercial fine art
galleries. Together they are working to promote the exciting visual arts in
the city and to foster continued long-term growth, ensuring Nashville
remains a vibrant community for many years to come. Through creative and
innovative endeavors, ArtGalleriesNashville will exhibit, market, and sell
the finest art possible. It will attract talked about talent, unique exhibitions,
and one-of-a-kind art experiences. You’re sure to find your next favorite
work of art once you explore ArtGalleriesNashville.Com
COURTESY OF ZEITGEIST
10 Questions on Art, Artists, and
the Nashville Arts Community
Lain York, Artist and Gallery Director, Zeitgeist
1
What changes in the arts have
you noticed?
The most exciting change I see is more
discerning patrons looking for diversity, more
focused work, and finding it here. Nashville
has always enjoyed a healthy studio artists’
community, and these days it’s exceptional.
Otherwise, it’s business as usual.
2
What about our arts community
excites you most right now?
A broad-based, grass-roots interest in what
artists do. Our greatest asset has always
been people; artists, arts professionals, and
forward-thinking individuals networking. As
most American cities currently emphasize the
direct contributions Creative Industry makes
in their respective communities, we see these
assets putting Nashville consistently ahead of
that curve leading the conversation.
3
What opportunities do you have
as an artist living here?
I think we tend to avoid a lot of the hassles
many others encounter in larger markets
Landscape: Briley PKWY (timber topper), 2014, Adhesive
vinyl, acrylic paint, 48” x 48”
and take advantage of Nashville’s livability
and existing infrastructure to get work done.
That’s why we see luminaries outside of
country music land here, like Jack White, the
Black Keys, etc.
4
What would you say to an artist
who is moving to Nashville?
Get involved. Immediately. Nashville built
its reputation in the visual arts by having
a very connected and friendly studio
community. Studio space is important,
and finding one with other artists around
you is how you build a network and find
opportunities.
5
What’s the best approach to
becoming part of the Nashville
arts scene?
The quickest way to introduce yourself to
artists and professionals is to become a
resource. Invite another artist to put up work
in your studio and invite people over to see
it. Give a show to get a show. It also helps to
attend as many openings as you can.
6
What do you like most about
living in Nashville?
7
What trends have you seen in the
arts over the years in Nashville?
It’s my hometown. I did not have to move to
a larger market city; it moved here.
I think of trends as industry mechanisms.
I have seen Art Crawls, the heyday of 35+
independent artists groups, the Studio/Gallery
scene, Maker Culture, Pop-ups, Art/Music/
Food Festivals, Creative Industry spearheading
Community Building and Commercial
Development, etc. This is Creative Industry
asserting itself. These manifestations are
always with us and individually move to the
forefront at auspicious moments. Looking
beyond trending and understanding why these
components occur within industry cycles is
crucial to their development.
8
What can visitors expect to see
when they go to galleries in various
neighborhoods in Nashville? Is there
something you’d say characterizes
“Nashville Style”?
“Nashville Style” has always been about
diversity. It’s Saturday Night and Sunday
Morning. It’s very focused, idea-based
work existing side by side with the most
traditional crafting. You can’t have one
without the other, and you will find these
things in any neighborhood currently
asserting itself.
White Frog/White Roach, 2014, Adhesive vinyl, acrylic
paint, 21” x 12”
9
What’s your idea of the perfect
art-filled day in town?
If we’re limiting it to visual art there is
certainly the Frist or Cheekwood, but I
would encourage folks to take in a show at
any of the college and university spaces, hit
any of the area commercial galleries, and find
an artist-run initiative or cooperative space.
For a more intimate experience, talk to any
of the area commercial spaces and have them
set up a couple of studio visits. Then get Hot
Chicken and go to Springwater.
10
What are some of the strengths
of our various arts institutions?
In what has traditionally been a relatively
small market, all aspects of the visual arts
industry here work together. Commercial
gallery artists teach in area university
programs, and artists running independent
initiatives are on staff with area museums and
arts commissions. One area informs the other.
When curators, artists, or anyone interested
visits and digs a bit deeper, the larger picture
of what the visual arts bring to this city comes
into focus.
