I’m really happy to announce Modular Art Pods happening Saturday, February 7th during Arts & Music @ Wedgewood/Houston 6-10 p.m. at abrasiveMedia inside Houston Station (438 Houston Street, Nashville, TN). MAPs is the open-source community art tunnel that I’ve been working on for over a year, and it features 30 individually-curated pods. None of this could have happened without the hard work and creativity of the participating artists, which include:
- Adrienne Newman
- Alison Rinner and Becky Matthews
- Andee Rudloff
- Andri Alexandrou
- Arthur Kirkby
- Ava Marie Puckett
- Beth Reitmeyer
- Brandon Donahue
- Brandon Greer
- Brian Somerville
- Courtney Adair Johnson
- Dig Deep Light Show
- Dylan Ethier and Molly Lahym
- Emily Holt
- Evelyn Walker
- Gordon Roqué
- Joe Clemons
- Kayla Saito
- Kyle Baker
- Kyle Numann
- Lauren Kussro
- Luke Rainey
- Matt Fox and Ben Clark
- Matthew Jernigan
- Megan Kelley and Stephen Zerne
- Morgan Higby-Flowers
- Patrick Stefaniak
- Sarah McDonald and Tyler Blankenship
- Secret Friends
- Tony Youngblood
Modular Art Pods will be unlike other art exhibitions you’ve attended. You could call it an “art haunted house,” and like haunted houses, you will have to wait in line to get in. So allow time for waiting. And wear comfortable clothes for crawling. If you are unable to crawl through, we also have a backlot walking tour that lets you peer in on the crawlers and see the behind-the-scenes magic.
MAPs isn’t the only show happening in the Wedgewood/Houston neighborhood Saturday night. Also check out Tom Shinness, Tony Gerber and Kirby Shelstad performing at Noteable Blends (also inside Houston Station) at 8p.m. and lots of other gallery openings, including Andrew O’Brien’s Talking Talking House at Seed Space, Fort Houston’s 3rd Birthday Bonanza, Ariel Lavery at The Packing Plant, the opening of Cumberland Gallery in Track One, and lots more. Also, MAPs participant Kayla Saito has a solo show at the WAG Gallery in the Arcade downtown. Joe Nolan has the details on these events and more at the Nashville Scene’s Crawl Guide.
