Artsy Fartsy Finds a Home at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville

Artsy Fartsy is an all-ages, semi-annual festival that was created with one goal: to break down barriers in the creative world. With no vendor fees and an affordable ticket price, it invites artists, musicians, chefs, tattoo artists, and makers of all levels to share their work in a supportive space. Its lineup even features rising performers from across the region, including Jarren Blair, Summer Joy, Connor Kelly & the Time Warp, Willa Mae, and more

The event always includes a give-back element — from raffles to canned food drives — and this year, its impact will extend beyond Tennessee. In honor of Allen’s Texas roots, a $10 raffle will benefit victims of the recent Kerr County floods, with all proceeds going to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.

Even its playful name carries meaning: a reminder that art doesn’t have to take itself too seriously and should belong to everyone. See more here.
