Continuing the ongoing tradition of the group exhibition is a rapidly growing trend in the contemporary arts. In recent years groups of artists have banded together within Middle Tennessee communities to increase exposure and exhibition opportunities. The benefits to such a likeminded gathering are many, but there are also downfalls. A group could be too diverse in its showing selections, leaving the viewer to feel lost in a sea of disparate ideas. Individual concerns can often begin to outweigh the better interests of the group if careful consideration isn't given to the needs of both the parts and the whole. In Nashville one group that began as a selection of students and slowly grew to include a slew of instructors and independent artists, eventually forming a devoted, but ever-evolving series of exhibitions, was The Secret Show artists. While headed by a core of few, the body continued to grow and change from one show to the next. The audience always was treated to diverse yet unified exhibits created under a central theme and shown for a short period of time (often one night). Ultimately the series was about "art for art's sake" - removing the veil of commercialism and commodity. The concern wasn't to sell work, but to engage the viewer and create an artistic dialog among a community of like-minded individuals. More information and a history of The Secret Show Series can be found online at www.secretshowseries.com.
