Frist Center for the Visual Arts

The Frist Center opened in April 2001, and since that time has hosted a spectacular array of art from the region, the country and around the world. Unlike any traditional museum, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts has become a magnet for Nashville's rapidly expanding visual arts scene. With an exhibitions schedule that has new art flowing through the magnificent Art Deco building every six to eight weeks, no matter how often you visit, there is always something new and exciting to see in the spacious galleries.

Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 10:00am-5:30pm; Thursday and Friday 10:00am-9:00pm, Saturday 10:00am-5:30pm, Sunday 1:00pm-5:30pm

Price: $8.50/Adults, $7.50/Seniors(65+), $7.50/Military, $7/Groups of 10 or more, $6.50/College Students w/ID, Free/18 years or younger
