The Inaugural Thrive Grant Reunion



On November 12, 2025, Metro Arts, in partnership with NECAT Network, The Nashville Fair, and the Nashville Parthenon, hosted the inaugural Thrive Grant Reunion at The Parthenon. This special evening celebrated our FY25 Thrive grant recipients and brought together past, present, and future Thrive awardees alongside Nashville’s vibrant creative community.


The event featured live performances, inspiring guest speakers, and opportunities to connect with fellow artists and creatives. Thank you to everyone who attended, shared their art, spoke, and to our event partners who helped make this celebration possible. We were grateful to celebrate so many creative and dedicated people who make Nashville such a beautiful space.
