We ART Nashville, a First Art Saturday Downtown Initiative, will benefit the victims of the historic Nashville flood that occurred on the first weekend in May. The art galleries on 5th Avenue of the Arts and throughout downtown offer this uplifting artistic evening to show their support for the community. For a suggested donation of $10.00, visitors will be given wristbands offering 10% off all of their purchases, free ticket vouchers to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts (shuttles will be provided free of charge by the Downtown Partnership), and other special gifts given at each venue. All donations from the evening will go to The Community Foundation's Disaster Relief Fund.
