May 12-31
In conjunction with the Brave New Works Lab, OZ Arts hosts the fourth volume of the popular Adult Contemporary visual art exhibit series, presented by the Nashville Scene. In this new installment, DRAWERS: Provocative Drawings, curator Laura Hutson Hunter brings together a mix of national and local artists, showcasing artworks that explore the close relationship between drawing and intimacy. Works from nationally recognized artists like the legendary Betty Tompkins and the acclaimed Thornton Dial are included alongside local favorites Elisheba Israel Mrozik, Julia Martin, XPayne, and more. The exhibit will feature more than 60 artworks in all. Many of the drawings come directly from artists’ sketchbooks, adding a personal, secretive element to many of the pieces.
