When OZ Arts first opened its doors, the Scene’s editor Jim Ridley wrote, “if ever a place promised an escape from its surroundings, it’s an oasis of creative energy hidden in a stretch of institutional West Nashville wasteland — an area that’s about to become a magnet for world-class talents both outside and inside the city.” Two years later, that oasis shows no signs of drying up — OZ just announced its third season, which is filled with the top-shelf performers we’ve (almost) gotten used to seeing in the massive warehouse space. But alongside the big names (Bang on a Can and Kaki King among them), OZ will host several offerings from homegrown talent that may put it in its most influential role yet.
Read on for more information about OZ Arts’ 2015-2016 mainstage line-up and Thursday night TNT events, and look for more about OZ — including the world premiere of Phantom Limb’s Memory Rings that will close OZ’s second season on June 19-20 — in upcoming issues of the Scene.
