Native - a 5-person Native American art show in Nashville, Tennessee

I saw an interesting art exhibition lately in Nashville at the Front Porch Gallery  in the Scarritt-Bennett area. It is called Native. Five different native American artists "present their different perspectives..."

I was impressed by the originality and difference of the exhibits. I liked the Burial Ground with skulls in front. I also liked the chairs which I remembered from last visit. The chairs are not part of the exhibit.

I didn't take pictures inside, but one work there stays with me - it is a bed with photographs that revolve on top in a mobile. They tell some of the story of the person whose bed it used to be.

My daughter sat in one of the chairs, and it was wet from the rain. It took awhile for the water to dry out. I'm glad they had exhibits outside so I could snap them with the camera.

A beautiful Mary and Jesus grotto in Nashville

I found this beautiful and peaceful photo today when I was organizing my desktop files.

It is from outside an art exhibition in Nashville I went to this Fall at St. Bernard's Church and School in the Belwood area of Nashville. I love the feeling I get just looking at Mary and Jesus in this lovely grotto setting.

Photos from the Upper Room in Nashville, Tennessee

 

Above are some photos from the Upper Room Gallery in Nashville. You can tour there for free and also see a lovely garden with a unique metal gate there. It is a fun thing to do, and the price is right. Nearby, you will see a beautiful magnolia tree. This is a Christian themed chapel and gallery, but anyone of any religion can tour there.

Photos from the TACA Tennessee Craft Fair

I went to see my sister's pottery at the TACA Tennessee Craft Fair near the Parthenon.

It had rained so long, there were huge puddles everywhere! And Helen was actually standing on two stones to get up out of the water.

Here are some photos from Friday:
