Introduction to Nashville's Public Art program
Please take a moment to view the short video linked below about the establishment of Nashville's Public Art Program and the citizen-driven process of selecting public art.

Produced by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission and Metro 3 Television, the video was created to document this exciting chapter in our city's history for Nashville residents, visitors and artists. This film will also be available at public libraries and Metro schools and will air periodically on Metro 3. To view Metro 3's broadcast calendar go to www.nashville.gov/metro3.
