The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority cordially invites you to an artist’s reception and book signing of The River Inside on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. This event will be held at the Nashville International Airport Concourse C Food & Retail Court.  An RSVP is required by Wednesday, November 30, to arts@nashintl.com or (615) 275-1614. Please respond with the full legal name of each attendee.

John Guider is a successful Nashville commercial photographer who stepped away from the comfortable, predictable routine of his life and challenged his mind and body in ways he never thought possible. With virtually no camping or paddling experience, he bought a canoe and set off on a solitary, artistic adventure that led him from the creek behind his farmhouse to the Harpeth, the Cumberland, the Ohio, and eventually the Mississippi River, all the way down to New Orleans. After completing the three-month journey to New Orleans, Guider began looking at the over two thousand photos he had taken.

The River Inside is not only John Guider’s compelling story of his life-changing journey, but also a stunning visual narration of more than 70 platinum prints. Thirty of these prints can be viewed at Nashville International Airport. Guider's canoe is also on display hanging in the skylight near Gate C-10. The book, The River Inside is available at Airport retail stores.

The River Inside exhibit is organized by the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville, Tennessee, and presented in conjunction with the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, Dubuque, Iowa. Initial support for the exhibit was provided by the Ingram Barge Company. The companion book is published by FRP, Nashville, with editorial and design assistance from McNeely, Pigott, and Fox. More of John Guider's photography can be found at http://johnguider.com
