Every class, membership, and donation to the Buchanan Arts Center fuels free programs, shared spaces, and creative opportunities for North Nashville. What you make here reaches far beyond the studio.
Art that grows community.
Opening doors for young artists.
Our after-school programs give local students a place to create, learn, and express themselves—at no cost. With each class you take, you’re helping fund supplies, instruction, and inspiration for the next generation of makers.
The Community Garden
Just outside the studio, neighbors grow food, friendship, and pride in our shared space. The Buchanan Arts Community Garden provides free access to fresh produce and serves as a living classroom for creativity and care.
Celebrating the artists among us.
The Buchanan Arts Emerging Artist Fellowship is a year-long work-study program for early-career artists and creative entrepreneurs. Fellows grow their practice while helping run classes, exhibitions, and community programs that keep art accessible in North Nashville.
The experience combines studio access, mentorship, and real-world nonprofit experience to spark creative growth and connection.
When you take a class, join as a member, or make a donation, you’re not just supporting an arts center—you’re sustaining a movement that keeps creativity accessible for everyone.
