Antebellum
Presented by Tennessee State Museum at Tennessee State Museum July 1, 2007 - Ongoing 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.)

Artist’s Perspective: Ben Venom “Heavy Quilting”
Presented by Frist Center for the Visual Arts at Frist Center for the Visual Arts June 14, 2012 In this lecture, San Francisco-based artist, Ben Venom will discuss his interest in juxtaposing traditional handmade crafts with one of the more extreme musical genres, heavy metal. His work can be described as a collision of Iron Maiden metal ballads with the outrageous stage antics of Ozzy Osbourne. His work is serious, yet attempts to take on a B-movie horror film style, where even the beasts of metal need a warm blanket to sleep with.
