International Artists Exhibition

The International Artists Exhibition is running at the Centennial Art Center in Centennial Park from October 2 through October 30, 2026. It's one of six shows the center hosts each year, and this one brings together artists from around the world who now call the Nashville area home. Their work stays on view for the full month, so you've got plenty of time to swing by.

If you want to catch the opening, the reception is Friday, October 2, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. It's held in combination with the Celebrate Nashville Cultural Festival, which runs through Centennial Park, so you can make a whole afternoon of it and walk from the festival over to the gallery. The Centennial Art Center itself is a space that showcases local and regional professional and emerging artists, and this particular exhibition focuses on the international side of that mix—artists who've moved here from other countries and are now part of the city's creative community.

Behind the scenes, Creative Parks Nashville, a 501(c)(3) non-profit 'friends' group, provides the funding and support for Metro Park's Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts Divisions. That's the organization that helps keep these kinds of shows happening in the park.

Admission is free and open to the public. You'll find the gallery at the Centennial Art Center, Centennial Park, 301 25th Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37203, with the work on view from October 2 through October 30.
