| Description | description | text | These contemporary woodcuts honor Nashvillians who were influential in the city’s struggle to secure civil rights for all. Businessman and politician James C. Napier (1845-1940) helped organize the 1905 Negro streetcar strike and the black Union Transportation Company’s streetcar line and served on the Nashville City Council from 1878-1886. J. Frankie Pierce ( -1954) founded the Tennessee Vocational School for Colored Girls. She led women’s clubs on a march to city hall to protest segregation in public facilities. Politician and judge Robert E. Lillard (1907-1991) organized the 15th Ward Colored Voters and Civic Club. He served on the Metro Council for 20 years and was appointed judge of the First Circuit Court. Curlie E. McGruder (1927-1993) was a tireless activist bringing attention to hunger, housing, and access to quality health care. She was an NAACP Nashville chapter president and an organizer of the Freedom Marches. These works are primarily about creative practice and process, specifically as those endeavors relate to mark-making. The artist begins the process by culling source material in the form of marks and remnants. In reusing these often discarded marks, the artist hopes to raise awareness of their intrinsic importance in shared experiences. This work is part of a series of on-site drawings at Grimey’s basement music venue is an effort to capture the changing Nashville cityscape. The artist went every night for a few weeks, working in the crowd and drawing any and every band and the scenes that unfolded. Exploration & Discovery is a three part installation by artist Ken Rowe. The three bronze sculptures that make up the series are The Spark of Discovery, The Scholar and To the Moon. Each highly detailed sculpture captures the image of an individual or group of individuals in the pursuit of knowledge through acts of exploration and discovery. Rowe’s three works were created to inspire, celebrate and honor the legacy of creativity and ingenuity within the Nashville community. Capturing the vibrancy of downtown Nashville, Nott's works document of the unexpected, haphazard multitude of things – neon signs, buildings, random people – all colliding in a rush of activity. These are photos documenting the people and the music that make up Music City USA. view top 100 |
