ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: Nashville’s visual arts landscape is evolving — and next Wednesday’s Salon Series brings together artists and curators who are shaping that future.
Featuring Téa Chura in conversation with a growing panel of Nashville creatives including Sai Clayton, Ashley Layendecker, Clay Williams, and Omari Booker.
Join us December 3 for dialogue, connection, and what’s next for our city’s visual arts community.
Special thanks to our host, JE Dunn Construction, for providing their remarkable event space for this Salon.

Coming soon: “Forever Human Voices” where co-Producer and Co-host Tea Chura @churatea and I pick the brains and hearts of leading scientists and researchers like @sophiescott , award-winning film and TV actors like @actuallystevenweber and journalists such as PBS host and humanitarian @khalilekulona and audio description writer/performer/producer @roysamuelson . We may not get to all the answers but we’ve got lots of questions and would love to hear from you about who else we might talk to. And PS so far pretty much everyone we’ve spoken to not only has great insight but they’re pretty funny. Coming soon!
Thank you to everyone who made last week's Salon Series, Nashville: Shaping our Visual Arts Future, a success. There's meaningful work ahead to make Nashville's visual arts scene stronger and more sustainable. We're grateful to our panelists and attendees for showing up with honesty, insight, and a shared commitment to pushing our creative community forward.
🤫 We’ve been keeping a secret... As a continuation of the book, the art exhibit, and the in-person conversations, we bring you the BRAND NEW Scene Shift: The Podcast! 🎉
We’ll be talking to set designers, theatre professionals, and artists to explore our individual practices, plus:
+ overlap and collaborations in creative worlds
+ accomplishments and setbacks
+ live performance and culture as it shifts before our eyes
Hosts, Maureen Weiss and Sibyl Wickersheimer, are co-authors of Scene Shift: US Set Designers in Conversation and design professors at LACC and USC, respectively, with decades of experience as scenic designers in theatre and beyond.
Theme music is by Claire McKeown. This podcast is produced by Téa Chura.
More info coming soon. 🎉
“An Offer in Exile”
Beginning in August with no particular direction in mind, I started a writing practice that has been sustaining me ever since. I know a performance piece is coming, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I want to share these smaller pieces with you. After writing, I collaborated with @churatea to interpret the piece as a video. It’s been an exciting experience. Ready for more.
