The Artlightenment festival, now an
annual tradition in Music City, combines several art forms into one
breathtaking event in November. This is the seventh year of the festival which
continues to grow and change while inviting even greater participation from the
community. The 2015 theme is Music City Mystique: Behind the Art.
Saturday, November 7th at
5:30pm is the opening reception. Guests will be able to view the art on display
and meet the artists.
Robyn Morshead who founded the
Artlightenment festival says, “Each year local artists submit their art for the
show and each year I am absolutely blown away by the artistic skill and
expression we have in our community.”
The art show is hosting 47 local artists
this year including the three featured artists: celebrity photographer Raeanne
Rubenstein, whose photographs have recently been added to the catalogue of the
prestigious Gagosian Gallery in New York City; Anne Goetze, a prolific artist
whose Annecey, France Nun Series is scheduled to tour the United States; and Roy
Laws, whose bold and expressive art hangs in private collections in the United States
and Internationally.
Additionally, Laws will deliver a Live
Painting Event of Rubenstein’s celebrated photograph of Martina McBride during
the Artlightenment festival. Also during the festival, comedian and artist Bob
Hutcheson will be creating a Community Coloring Experience, followed by his
hilarious comedy show.
Artlightenment this year will be chock-full
of inspirational talks, workshops, film screenings, a fashion show and much,
much more.
Morshead said: “I am thrilled to give
our local artists and filmmakers an opportunity to share their art with the
community. I invite everyone to come out
and enjoy the experience.”
The Church of Scientology and Celebrity
Centre Nashville is the festival host each year, in accordance with Scientology
Founder L. Ron Hubbard’s vision to help all artists. More information and the
