Nashville's Madison community has long been recognized as a center of creative activity—a home for musicians, songwriters, and visual and performing artists—with new creatives moving to the area every day. Madison’s creatives are a vital part of Nashville’s sense of place, economic development and overall quality of life. They represent some of the creatives and freelancers that make up 22% of the county’s workforce.

 

Metro Arts, working with local artist Kristen Chapman, wants to hear from creatives living and/or working in Madison, learn about their creative practices, and get their thoughts on affordable housing and studio/production spaces. To do this, we are conducting a Madison Cultural Asset Mapping Project that will record, analyze and synthesize information to highlight existing cultural resources in the Madison neighborhood area.

​

Help Us Make the Map

 

Calling all creatives in Madison—here's how you can take part in this process:

​

• Complete our survey designed to gather information about creatives living and/or working in Madison.

 

• Attend one of three upcoming community input sessions. Details on these events will be posted here and announced on Metro Arts social media (follow @MetroArtsNash or see links below).

 

This project is funded by a National Endowment for the Arts Creativity Connects grant in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Community Development, Metro Planning, Metro GIS and Madison/Rivergate Chamber of Commerce.
