IN HER PLACE: NASHVILLE ARTISTS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Frist Art Museum / 919 Broadway January 29, 2026 - April 26, 2026
Women have long been at the center of Nashville’s vibrant visual arts community, and In Her Place highlights their influence by presenting nearly 100 paintings, sculptures, textile pieces, and installations from 28 intergenerational women artists exploring ideas of place and identity. Part of the Frist’s 25th-anniversary celebration, the exhibition underscores the museum’s commitment to the local arts community and will be accompanied by a catalogue co-edited by Katie Delmez and Laura Hutson Hunter and published by Vanderbilt University Press.
Organized by the Frist Art Museum and co-curated by Katie Delmez, Frist Art Museum senior curator, Shaun Giles, Frist Art Museum community engagement director, and Sai Clayton, independent curator and artist.
