Call for your Mail Art: Love Letter to the Post Office

Recently, our dear Arcade Post Office has been threatened with closing
by the U.S. Postal Service. While we all assume the end of paper mail
is at some point inevitable, we certainly have a nostalgia for actual
handwritten letters and postcards. The Arcade Post Office has been in
the Arcade since the very beginning, opening in 1903. 106 years later
- is it the end of an era? We hope not, but in the meantime, send your
heartfelt Love Letter to the Post Office via Twist Art Gallery, 73 Arcade,
Nashville, TN 37219. Please make it a postcard no larger than 5" x 7"
and postmark by July 24th.

We will hang your postcards in Twist 58 for the August Gallery Crawl.
Postcards will not be returned, but will be sold at the Gallery Crawl for
$5 a piece to support future Twist exhibitions in the Arcade. (It is our
third birthday after all!! And we hope to have many more.) You need
not be an artist to send us a postcard, but we hope it will get your
creative juices flowing.

Call for Works -Belmont Mansion Annual Fashion show

Belmont Mansion hosts an Annual Fashion show each fall and this is our 30th anniversary. We have the longest running fashion show in Nashville! There is always a popular and well-known designer at each show. We have had Carolina Herrera, Gustavo Cadile, Tuleh—just to name a few. This year we are trying to shake things up a bit and thus holding TWO shows. One will be sponsored by Gus Mayer and take place in Belle Meade Country Club and the other will be hosted by Posh and hopefully will be at The Standard Restaurant. We are doing away with the usual silent auction and replacing it with an “open market” type environment. There will be vendors for all over Nashville as well as a few service booths. This year we are trying to help the local Nashville economy as well. We are looking for at least 25 donated works of art ranging in price from $50 to $500. This will be great exposure for any new artist. Their name will be mentioned on our website (which will be newly designed by the time of the show), in the program which will be handed out during both shows, and in the invitation if the works are donated by August 31st. Also, we will offer a FREE membership to those artists who participate and a special reception held at the mansion (date TBD.) We will take 2-D, 3-D and everything from paintings to sculpture to photography.

All proceeds from the show benefit the mission of the mansion which is the continued restoration and preservation of this Nashville landmark.


Please email if you have additional questions.


P.S. This is also a tax deduction.
