Nashville Association of Art Dealers (NAAD), the premier arts membership organizations in Nashville, is helping one of its own, Finer Things Gallery. As a result of the destructive storms earlier this month, Finer Things Gallery was forced to close its doors after suffering considerable loss at the location next to the Fairgrounds. NAAD will host special benefits for Finer Things Gallery at various membership galleries throughout the summer, beginning with Cumberland Gallery on June 3 during NAAD's monthly citywide art event, Art After Hours, from 5:00pm-9:00pm. Other participating galleries include The Arts Company, The Rymer Gallery, Gallery One, LeQuire Gallery, Local Color/Midtown, and Zeitgeist Gallery. Many of the artists represented by Finer Things have donated their work to be sold and 100% of all sales of work by Finer Things artists will go to support rebuilding the gallery.

More than 10 feet of water flooded Finer Things and the gallery grounds, sweeping away larger-than-life outdoor sculptures. Owner Rusty Wolfe's studio was submerged with water destroying the tools and equipment that he used on a daily basis to create beautiful furnishings and artwork (i.e. his livelihood). In addition, Rusty and Kim's private living space and furnishings were also destroyed.
