Kelly's brother, Chris, can be heard banging out his funky beats on the drums in "Bad Habit," "Restless," "Crazy Beautiful," and "In Love with Love" Kelly is also what the industry might call a “Triple Threat” as her talents are not limited to singing Kelly is not only a classically trained singer, but also has collegiate training in dance and theatre Kelly's passion for dance definitely comes through in her songwriting, as strong rhythmic patterns and driving beats tend to be the foundation of a lot of her songs Kelly's mindset is, “I don't just want people to want to dance when they hear my music, but have to dance when they hear my music!” This “Quadruple Threat” singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress is in a category all her own]]>

Start Time(s):

Head out to F Scott's Restaurant and Jazz Bar for live music! Dara Tucker was born into a musical family So it’s no surprise that her love affair with music began at such an early age The product of a music minister father, and a songstress mother, she began singing in her Tulsa, Oklahoma church at age 5 By age 8 she was playing simple melodies on the piano and soon began accompanying her brothers and sisters at performances Says Tucker, “We performed as a group in churches and youth events throughout the city It was a real proving-ground for us We grew our own musical legs, independent of our parents That was a very important learning time” Tucker's original songs fuse her gospel roots with jazz subtlety and free spirit, while paying homage to American Folk music Her style, while difficult to pigeonhole, can best be described as Urban Singer-Songwriter With subtly soulful undertones, she seeks to convey her pensive, searching, but always-hopeful outlook on life through her music Since moving to Nashville, TN to pursue music fulltime, Tucker has begun to establish herself as a strong presence in Nashville's burgeoning jazz scene Displaying a love for standards and swing that belies her years, Tuckers reverence for the Great American Songbook can be felt in her careful delivery of these timeless songs]]>

President@Nashville-AU.org

Start Time(s):

The religion clauses of the First Amendment are brief, but to understand their importance, what they mean, and how they came about requires delving into history and Constitutional law  That is what Dr Paul Sharkey will do in his talk  Following his talk, some of us will adjourn to a nearby restaurant for lunch and to honor Novia Sharkey for her stand against religious intolerance  In many ways, the issues of religious freedom and the separation of church and state have their roots in the English Civil Wars of 1642-1651 in which the basis of both civil and religious authority came into question The emergence of the social contract theory, no less than the conflicts among Catholics, Anglicans, Puritans, Quakers and other Protestant reformers, provided the foundation for the American Revolution and the eventual formulation of the Constitution of The United States and its provisions for the protection of religious freedom  The First Amendment is most often cited as an expression of this but even the body of the Constitution reflects concern for the mixing of religion and governance in Article Six These are not merely historical or academic issues: They are all too much alive -- if not well -- amongst us today  Various attempts to impose through governmental sanctions one's own religious beliefs and behaviors on others in the name of "religious freedom" are all too apparent  This not only takes the form of discrimination against those belonging to some well-established but locally unpopular religious traditions but also to those who, even for personal religious reasons, refuse to "confess" their religious beliefs to others and to those non-believers who assert their right to be free from religion based upon the principle that in a religiously pluralistic society, freedom of religion presupposes freedom from religion Paul W Sharkey, PhD, MPH, earned his PhD in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame and a postdoctoral Master of Public Health degree from the University of Southern Mississippi (USM)  He is a retired Professor of Philosophy and Religion and Professor of Community Health and has held concurrent academic appointments in family medicine and psychiatry and human behavior  He is a former Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion and former Director of The Center for Community Health at USM and co-founder of two national professional organizations in philosophical counseling  He has received awards for excellence in teaching and academic scholarship and is listed in two editions of Who's Who in Religion  He has taught, published and spoken on a wide variety of topics including religion and American political philosophy   A resident of Jamestown Tennessee, he is a member of the Nashville Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State]]>

 Seed Space presents Skitter Flutter, an interactive sound sculpture by Robbie Lynn Hunsinger with Patrick Becker and Steve Ghertner May 10th-June 27th  Skitter Flutter is a reactive sound sculpture built with sensors, microcontrollers and motors  A Raspberry Pi, webcam and light sensors take intentional and inadvertent input from those in the space - movement, sound, the casting of shadows - and feed that input to an Arduino microcontroller which in turn sparks the responsive mechanical soundscape "We are turning Seed Space into a sentient space that reacts to exploration with skitters and flutters of nearly invisible but audibly reactive objects" Skitter Flutter grew out of Hunsinger's Duet for Arduino & Soprano Sax, which features her robotic drummer, created with an Arduino microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor and a motor It is also influenced by her years of early morning bird conservation work in the Chicago area She is Founder of The Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, a program in which volunteers rescue injured and stunned migratory birds in the early morning hours "I became fascinated with the idea of creating an environment of reactive sounds, similar in some ways to small mammals, insects or birds, which would be heard but not seen These creatures would react to our movements but stay hidden " Her new work attempts to keep its secrets Sounds pull the viewer in but then dissipate upon investigation, much as crickets grow quiet as we approach Hunsinger is excited to be working with Patrick Becker and Steve Ghertner, whom she met through the Middle Tennessee Robotic Arts Society, a free resource in Nashville for those interested in pursuing robotics, technology and programming Skitter Flutter project website Facebook event page]]>

Start Time(s):

Head out to F Scott's Restaurant and Jazz Bar for live music! Dara Tucker was born into a musical family So it’s no surprise that her love affair with music began at such an early age The product of a music minister father, and a songstress mother, she began singing in her Tulsa, Oklahoma church at age 5 By age 8 she was playing simple melodies on the piano and soon began accompanying her brothers and sisters at performances Says Tucker, “We performed as a group in churches and youth events throughout the city It was a real proving-ground for us We grew our own musical legs, independent of our parents That was a very important learning time” Tucker's original songs fuse her gospel roots with jazz subtlety and free spirit, while paying homage to American Folk music Her style, while difficult to pigeonhole, can best be described as Urban Singer-Songwriter With subtly soulful undertones, she seeks to convey her pensive, searching, but always-hopeful outlook on life through her music Since moving to Nashville, TN to pursue music fulltime, Tucker has begun to establish herself as a strong presence in Nashville's burgeoning jazz scene Displaying a love for standards and swing that belies her years, Tuckers reverence for the Great American Songbook can be felt in her careful delivery of these timeless songs]]>

Tinney Contemporary is pleased to present Shadow and Light, an exhibition guest curated by Reni Gower Born in Australia, France, Czech Republic, Canada, and the United States, the artists (Jaq Belcher, Béatrice Coron, Michelle Forsyth, Reni Gower, Lenka Konopasek, Lauren Scanlon, and Daniella Woolf) bring a broad range of international perspectives to the contemporary art of paper cutting Using all manner of tools and paper, the artists create works that range from narrative commentaries to complex structural abstractions Their works are bold contemporary statements that celebrate the subtle nuance of the artist's hand through a process that traces its origins to 6th century China Light, shadow, and color play key roles, transforming this ancient technique into dynamic installations filled with delicate illusions   Each artist contributes a unique sensibility within a complex (often installation based) construct that has hand cut paper at its core Whether manifested as silhouettes, romanticized fictions, enigmatic reenactments, cryptic scripts, or poetic abstractions, the artists address historical, cultural, and personal identity By encrypting their content through arduous and obsessive processes (cutting, rolling, punching, folding, pinning) these meditative works are charged with narrative, metaphor, and beauty   “Laboriously cut by hand, the works in the exhibition are poetic interplays of light and shadow” Reni Gower, curator]]>

Husband and wife duo Jace K Seavers and Dorothy Gilmore-Seavers comprise the elegant jazz duo Meet the Seavers With music and lyrics composed by Jace, the compositions are rooted in swing but rarely follow the traditional chord changes and rhythms familiar to swing purists Critics have called his thoughtful lyrics, complex time signatures and bubble-off-center chordings "ambitious," "insightful" and "brilliant" The Scene's Jack Silverman said of Meet the Seavers: "Husband-and-wife duo Jace Seavers and Dorothy Gilmore-Seavers have taken the stripped-down approach about as far as it can go: upright bass, a few finger snaps and a couple of human voices With Dorothy’s sultry singing and Jace’s slinky bass lines and supporting vocals, the duo weave a sound somewhere between old-school swing and film-noir jazz Add in their theatrical attire and stage antics, and Meet the Seavers performances become the closest thing Nashville has to a vintage vaudeville act" The majority of Meet the Seavers' performances employ only upright bass and vocals, making them one of the most original and musically daring groups currently performing in Nashville]]>

Centennial Art Center’s summer gallery show highlights three prominent local women artists Exhibit will include abstract paintings, multimedia work and paper sculpture installation Metro Parks’ Centennial Art Center Gallery announces a three-woman show for its summer gallery exhibit The new collection will feature abstract paintings by Eva Sochorova, multimedia works by Sydney Reichman and an installation of paper sculptures by Kaaren Hirschowitz Engel This colorful exhibit will open with an evening reception Friday, June 7 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm The exhibit will continue through July 24, 2013 Having her work described by New York’s Gallery and Studio Magazine as “beautifully melded colors and geometric forms in the manner of the Russian Constructivists…,” Eva Sochorova’s paintings boast of uninhibited expression Born in Prague and raised in East Germany, Eva received her art degree from Central Washington State University After graduating from college, she relocated to Nashville, Tennessee Since then she has studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and at the Art Students’ League in New York She has taught art classes both at Watkins College of Art and in Metro Nashville Public Schools Being abstract and highly objective, her work empowers the viewer with the freedom of interpretation, and freedom is a personal theme for Eva While asked about her style of painting, Eva reflects, “Coming from the darkness of my East German childhood, I have always craved color I paint to give color all the freedom it needs” Her works have been shown in New York City at the West Side Arts Coalition (WSAC) and locally at Bennett Gallery Another artist giving freedom to color is Sydney Reichman Painting on a “canvas” of copper, Reichman’s new series creates what colleague Kaaren Hirschowitz Engel describes as “color that literally jumps out at you” Paintings on copper may have been common to the Dutch and Flemish masters in the 1500-1700s, but Reichman reinvents a centuries-old technique with a sensibility not explored by her predecessors Her multimedia works have been an evolving process for over four decades After years working as a sculptor with various materials such as clay, pigment, metal and wood, her learned techniques created the foundation of experience upon which this new series was created—a series that offers a distinctly unique dialogue with the viewer Currently drawing on the energetic power of hammer and hand, welder’s torch and vibrant color, she vigorously pushes the boundaries of an artist’s traditional raw materials "If madness and magic can create art, I have been given an honorable dose," Reichman says Viewing her lifelong experiences with nature as a valuable education, she seeks to merge the art world and the natural world into every piece Artwork by Sydney Reichman can be found on display throughout the country, and she has also been featured in Nashville Arts and Nashville Lifestyles magazines and has been featured on HGTV and WNPT Sydney lives with her dog Chi Willy in the woods of Williamson County, Tennessee Rounding out this dynamic show is Kaaren Hirschowitz Engel’s collection of colorful paper sculptures entitled Transforestation Revisited This series further explores Engel’s first public art installation Transforestation that was shown in the Nashville International Airport in 2005 Consisting of large tubular paper sculptures which resemble a magical forest filled with multi-colored trees, viewers will be encouraged to touch and navigate through the “forest” Having collected cut and fallen branches, intentionally selecting those with an innate sculptural and textural quality, she incorporates her woven paper sculptures into the branches and positions these amongst the larger sculptural trees seamlessly integrating the forest into her art This thoughtful juxtaposition creates a marriage of her art with the very “art” of nature Engle says, “Much of my inspiration is drawn from the magic and mystery of nature” Staying consistent with her inspiration, Engel’s installation resembles a magical forest--luminous and enchanted As a former corporate attorney, Engel worked to find creative solutions for her clients In 1999 she left the practice of law and translated her creative energies toward emulating nature with paint and paper Engel says, “It is my intention to pay homage to the beauty, diversity and sheer marvel that is nature It is my hope to inspire viewers to gaze not only upward, but inward, and to experience the pure joy and wonder of creation” Her work has been shown internationally and she has completed more than a dozen public installations since 2005 The Centennial Art Center Gallery is free and open to the public The exhibit is open June 7-July24, 2013 Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 9:00am-5:00pm For more information, call the Centennial Art Center at (615) 862-8442 or visit online http://wwwnashvillegov/cac]]>

In this solo exhibition by emerging Memphis artist Amy Hutcheson, we'll discover large-scale, painted fragmentations of both the mind and spirit of someone who uses humor (read: hope), to survive the constant battle between negativity and optimism, in a world already affected by the fact that Pandora's Box was actually opened long ago In addition to Amy's paintings, some of her small studies on raw canvas will be exhibited, plus an installation of her "Box," an ever-changing and growing still life Join us Saturday, June 8, 6:00pm-9:00pm for the opening reception of Pandora's Box Unhinged, by Memphis artist Amy Hutcheson Ground Floor Gallery Hours are Tuesday through Thursday 10:00am to 4:00pm Friday and Saturday is by appointment only]]>

Start Time(s):

The Appalachian Center for Craft is hosting an exhibition by Joshua Almond entitled, "Nature (re)Constructed", in the 1400 sq ft Gallery Two of the facility  Almond creates abstract landscapes and large-scale sculptural forms that address themes of beauty, corruption and loss Informed by an interest in cell biology and genetic mutation, his work exists in the intersection between art, science, and philosophy Drawing upon nature for inspiration, Almond uses the abstracted morphology of biological structures as a vehicle for artistic expression Intentionally ambiguous, the expressive forms are at once familiar and exotic Often playing with the tension that exists in the struggle of opposites (positive & negative, constraint & abandon), he seeks to accentuate the tenuous balance between order & chaos Representational elements, such as maggots and grubs (serving simultaneously as metaphor for both sex and death), inhabit eroded, desiccated landscapes Negative spaces, reminiscent at times of riverbeds, veins, or root structures, often seem to struggle ineffectually against the precise, smooth areas surrounding them, while in other areas, thorn-like protrusions pierce the surface Through his work, Almond seeks to come to an alternative understanding of the contemporary sublime Pictured:  Of Sex and Death, Basswood]]>

Discovering the Civil War, landmark exhibition from Washington DC’s National Archives at the Tennessee State Museum Layers of time and memory have obscured the American Civil War for many in a smoky haze The real human beings, military and civilian, who lived through these years of travail and sacrifice, are lost to us, but the objects and records they left behind do offer a window into the past The National Archives holds millions of records, both Union and Confederate Discovering the Civil War draws on these through letters, diaries, photos, petitions, and patents to give visitors a chance to walk in the shoes of scolars in unlocking secrets, solving mysteries, and uncovering unexpected events from this pivotal point in our nation’s history The exhibit is divided into 12 thematic areas that combine great original treasures, engaging touch screen interactive, and social media tools, all selected to illustrate the breadth of the conflict and to ask, "How do we know what happened?" The original Emancipation Proclamation will be on view for a limited time during the exhibition  "It is an incredible honor for Tennessee to host the Emancipation Proclamation, a document whose significance to the history of this country, and this region in particular, cannot be overstated," according to The Honorable Bill Haslam, govenor of the Volunteer State "This delicate manuscript represents America’s recognition that all are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and we invite people from across the Southeast and the nation to see and celebrate with us the moment our country officially became the land of the free" The exhibition includes original treasures and several documents which will be on public view for the first time The Discovering the Civil War exhibit, which will continue well beyond the Emancipation Proclamation’s six day viewing, is the culmination of 150 years of analysis, interpretation, and opinion on the Civil War through lesser-known stories and perspectives Many items on display never have been publicly exhibited Highlights include the original copy of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery along with South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of secession]]>

http://fristcenter.org/visit/tickets

Start Time(s):

To be installed in March at the Demonbreun Street entrance to the Frist Center, Inveterate Composition for Clare (2011), by Brooklyn-based artist Rachel Owens, is composed of dismantled sections of two replica military Humvee shells, which have been reconstructed and welded together in a monumental, quasi-cubist form The central iconography of rebuilt military vehicles suggests the fragmentation of war, while alluding to the extra layers of metal that American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan welded onto their Humvees and other transports to provide added protection from the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used against them This work is at once a reflection of the horror of war and a memorial to those who have sacrificed their lives in its conduct A stereo system inside the sculpture initially hints at the music that soldiers riding in military vehicles might have used to calm themselves or psych themselves up for combat But instead of hip-hop or heavy metal, the soundtrack is composed of the songs of whales and crashes of glaciers; haunting sounds that make an emotional link between human conflict and environmental vulnerability Painted metallic white, the angular form of the sculpture suggests the jagged edges of an iceberg, establishing a connection between the global warming that is shrinking the ice pack and the consumption of fossil fuels that lies at the heart of many Middle Eastern conflicts With its whale songs, the hulking white form also brings to mind Moby Dick, the great white whale that has come to signify humanity’s blind ambition to control forces larger than itself, whether in the context of war or the struggle with nature The work was developed with the support of the late Clare Weiss, curator for the New York City Parks Department, who passed away in January 2010, after a long battle with breast cancer Rachel Owens is represented in New York City by ZieherSmith Gallery Image: Rachel Owens, Inveterate Composition for Clare, (Installation view, New York City) 2001 Repurposed replica Humvees (steel and fiberglass), humpback whale songs, and lights Courtesy of the artist and ZieherSmith New York Photography by Lisa Corson]]>

The Antebellum period of 1840 to 1860 was a time of prosperity and cultural development for many Tennesseans (Antebellum is from the Latin words ante, before, and bellum, war It is used to signify the period before the Civil War) Cities and towns became trade centers, as railroads and steamboats drew people closer together The increasing prosperity manifested itself in several ways Artists, whether trained or self-taught, found a ready market for their skills as the rising middle and upper classes sought to have their portraits painted Silversmiths, gunsmiths, tailors, and other craftsmen established themselves in cities and towns Exhibits of Tennessee-made silver, firearms, and quilts attest to that prosperity Another display on African American life points out that one-fourth of Tennessee's population were blacks who not only did not share in the state's prosperity but also lived as slaves unable to control their own lives]]>
