OUR MISSION

 

Metro Nashville Arts Commission or “Metro Arts” is the office of Arts & Culture for the city of Nashville and Davidson County. We believe that arts drive a more vibrant and equitable community. We strive to ensure that all Nashvillians have access to a creative life through community investments, artist and organizational training, public art, and direct programs that involve residents in all forms of arts and culture.

​

Metro Nashville Arts Commission was established in 1978 by Metro Charter. We invite you to read our annual report, strategic plan, and cultural equity statement.
