of festivals, concerts and sports competitions, there’s always a great selection
of celebrations to round out every stay.

To enjoy world-class entertainment in
Music City, all you need is a spotlight and
a microphone – and you can find those
all over town. From the legendary stages
of the Grand Ole Opry, War Memorial
Auditorium and Ryman Auditorium

Bridgestone Arena and the many intimate
clubs such as the famed Bluebird Cafe,
music is available 24/7. To find out more
about the city’s 160-plus venues, download

along 5th Avenue of the Arts and in the
Wedgewood/Houston neighborhood and
art events are on tap at OZ Arts Nashville.

Nashville – better known to hockey
fans as Smashville – is slated to host the
2016 NHL All-Star Game. The best of the
best will play during a fun-filled weekend
(Jan. 30-31), featuring a skills competition,
all-star matchup and lots of live music. The
Nashville Predators are sure to be wellrepresented on their home ice at Bridgestone
Arena during the event before going back
to work on their quest for the Stanley Cup.
With spring just a few weeks away,
it’s time to get ready for sunny days at the

The month kicks of in high style with the
trend-setting shows and events of Nashville
Fashion Week. From the runway to the red
carpet, the Wild West Comedy Festival
and Nashville Film Festival will tickle
your funny bone and touch your heart. And,
of course, there will be music. Vanderbilt

Nashville and Nissan Stadium for four days
of nonstop concerts and events with country’s
hottest artists, followed by Bonnaroo
Music and Arts Festival, four more
days of top acts from all genres in nearby
Manchester, just a short drive down the road
(shuttle packages available from Nashville).
Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman keep
the music flowing throughout the summer.
July starts off with a major bang at the
Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing!
event in downtown Nashville. Named one
of the best fireworks celebrations in the
nation, the day is filled with family-friendly
activities followed by an evening of live
performances. Past headliners include
Martina McBride, Billy Currington and

Free Music

Free live music flows from downtown
Nashville honky tonks 365 days a year,
and there’s usually no cover charge.
A tip jar is sometimes passed around for
anyone wanting to show appreciation to
the musicians.
From classical to pop, a variety of musical
events also takes place throughout the

year. The Grammy®-winning Nashville
Symphony hosts a free summer concert
series at outdoor locations around town,
from Centennial Park to Two Rivers
Mansion. Plan ahead to attend Live on
the Green, a series of shows held in Public
Square Park on Thursdays in August,
culminating with a three-day finale
in early September.

It’s not too late to plan a visit during
the National Hockey League’s All-Star

While the game at the Bridgestone Arena
is a ticketed event, there will be plenty of
free fan events on tap.

Music City July 4th:
Let Freedom Sing!

Nobody celebrates Independence Day
quite like Nashville. Music City’s fireworks
display is hailed by many as one of the best
in the nation, but that’s not all we offer.
Crowds flood downtown every July 4th for
free concerts (Martina McBride and Mikky
Ekko headlined in 2015); a family fun zone
with climbing walls, water slides and games;
and vendors galore. The Nashville Symphony
plays live music synchronized to the fireworks
to round out the spectacular evening.

CMA Music Festival

Nashville’s annual CMA Music Festival
attracts more than 71,000 country music fans
every June, but you don’t even need a ticket to
catch some great concerts. Seven free stages
throughout downtown host live music every
day of the festival (an ideal opportunity to
see up-and-coming artists), and the festival’s
kickoff parade and block party are open to
the public. Vendors along Broadway hand out
product and food samples, and you can play
games and enter to win giveaways.
From top: Ascend Amphitheater entertains crowds with
great shows. The Nashville Predators take to the ice at
Bridgestone Arena. The Bash on Broadway on New
Year’s Eve is fun and free! Fans enjoy the CMA Music
Festival. Opposite: The Frist Center for the Visual Arts
offers first-class art exhibits.

Jack Daniel's® New Year’s Eve
Bash on Broadway

Broadway, where you can take in live music
and watch a 15-foot-tall music note covered

the trendy 12South district has something
to suit every style. Whether browsing for

Ink, Silk, and Gold: Islamic Art from
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,
Frist Center for the Visual Arts,
615-244-3340. Ink, Silk, and Gold
presents nearly 100 works of Islamic
art, spanning the 8th to the 21st
centuries, from the impressive
collection of the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston. This exhibition offers a
chronological and regional story of

events
the dynamic and complex artistic
traditions originating from across
the vast expanse of the Islamic
world – Spain to Indonesia –
and represents almost all forms
of media, including silver inlaid
metalwork, Qur’an pages inscribed
with gold, brocaded velvets and
luster ceramics. More than 130 years
after the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, began collecting Islamic
art, this exhibition marks the first
time these objects have been
comprehensively studied,
restored and presented to
the public. fristcenter.org

Shinique Smith: Wonder
and Rainbows, Frist Center for
the Visual Arts, 615-244-3340.
For the past decade, New York–
based artist Shinique Smith has
created highly expressive paintings,
sculptures and installations that
reflect influences as diverse
as dance, fashion, Eastern
philosophies, graffiti, Japanese
calligraphy, poetry, lyrics and
childhood wonder. Many of her
collaged works contain recycled
or reused objects, demonstrating
her belief that personal possessions
can inspire memories and shape
our experience and identity. Yet
such materials, particularly her
bundles of cast-off clothing, also
comment on the vast excess and
waste in American consumerist
society. The artist’s early years as
a graffiti artist in Baltimore remain
evident in her exuberant calligraphic
strokes, which she often intermingles
with worn materials from popular
culture. fristcenter.org

NOW THROUGH FEBRUARY 7
Anthology: Visual Narratives from
Nashville’s Print Community,
Frist Center for the Visual Arts,
615-244-3340. Nashville is a

printing techniques by small presses

fascinating narratives in the form of
graphic novels, illustrations, poetry
and other media. fristcenter.org

NOW THROUGH FEBRUARY 14
Phantom Bodies:
The Human Aura in Art,
Frist Center for the Visual Arts,
615-244-3340. The third in a series
of exhibitions about the human body
in contemporary art organized by

Frist Center Chief Curator Mark
Scala, Phantom Bodies includes
provocative artworks that address
themes of trauma and loss, but also
affirm the enduring force of the
human spirit by conveying material
traces, shadow and light, or the
sublimation of the body into other
forms of matter and energy. The
exhibition title alludes to the phantom
limb syndrome, a palpable sensation
that embodies the pain of loss or the
illusion of restoration and wholeness.
The phantom limb here represents
absent persons whose vestiges
trigger memories, while positing
a passage from the body through
the mind and soul. fristcenter.org

The Power of Pictures:
Early Soviet Photography and Film,
Frist Center for the Visual Arts,
615-244-3340. From early vanguard
constructivist works by Alexander
Rodchenko and El Lissitzky to the
modernist images of Arkady

Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet
photographers played a pivotal
role in the history of modern
photography. The Power of Pictures:
Early Soviet Photography and Film
examines how photography, film
and poster art were harnessed to
disseminate Communist ideology,
revisiting a moment in history
when artists acted as engines of
social change and radical political
engagement. Covering the period
from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution
through the 1930s, the exhibition
explores how early modernist
photography and film influenced
a new Soviet style while energizing
and expanding the nature of
the media. Through 181 works,
The Power of Pictures reveals
how striking images by master
photographers and filmmakers
were seen as powerful propaganda
tools in the new Soviet Union,
and looks at photography and film
together as influential and formally
related media. fristcenter.org
