Be part of what’s growing.
Buchanan Arts Center thrives because people like you show up — by giving time, resources, or simply spreading the word. Every bit of involvement helps keep art, learning, and community connection accessible to everyone in North Nashville.
Join the studio, fuel the mission.
Members enjoy class discounts, early registration, and studio access. But more than that, your membership directly supports free art programs and community spaces for your neighbors.
Give creativity room to grow.
Your donation keeps classes affordable, programs free, and the doors open to anyone who wants to create. Every dollar supports local teaching artists, youth art programs, and shared spaces that bring people together.
Here’s the math:
Our free after-school art classes cost us an average of $750 per student each year.
For 2026 we are expecting to enroll more than 50 students for youth programs
This free program requires $37,500.00 in community support annually.
How you can help:
$25 provides materials for one weekly art project for one class, $50-$100 = materials for 2-4 classes
$63 provides a month’s worth of access for one student.
$750 provides an entire year’s worth of after school programming for an individual student
“When one person gives their time or creativity, the whole neighborhood grows brighter.”
