Art belongs to everyone.
Buchanan Arts is a neighborhood studio, classroom, and gathering space rooted in North Nashville. We believe creativity grows stronger when it’s shared—so we make art accessible to all, from beginners to lifelong makers.
Hello!
Creating connection through creativity.
Our mission is simple: use art to build community. Through paid classes, memberships, and generous support from neighbors and partners, we fund free youth art programs, public workshops, and the community garden that brings this block to life.
A creative home in the heart of North Nashville.
What began as a small group of local artists sharing space has grown into a community hub for creativity and connection. Over the years, Buchanan Arts has welcomed thousands of students, hosted exhibitions for local artists, and turned empty lots into gardens and gathering spots.
The People
Made possible by neighbors, artists, and friends.
Buchanan Arts runs on people—our instructors, volunteers, partners, and the community that keeps showing up. Every person who takes a class, donates, or lends a hand becomes part of the story we’re creating together.
