UNTITLED Artists Group Presents RETROSPECTIVE, 7/22

Nashville's UNTITLED Artists Group welcomes you to its 2011 summer show "RETROSPECTIVE," Friday, July 22 from 6 to 10 p.m. Celebrating Untitled's 20th anniversary, this free, all-ages, one-night-only art event will take place at 506 Events Gallery, in conjunction with 508 Lofts, conveniently located at 508 Davidson Street near downtown Nashville on the East Bank of the Cumberland River.

Untitled's roots are deeply engrained in the Nashville art community, bringing emerging and experienced artists together for one-night-only art shows at unique venues throughout the metropolitan Nashville area. In a city teeming with musical talent, it's only natural that the visual art community thrive as well. When Untitled formed 20 years ago, visual art in Nashville was practically non-existent and now art shows are opening every week! Nashville's visual arts roots will be celebrated at Untitled's 20th anniversary one-night-only art show, RETROSPECTIVE.

It's time to enjoy great art, cocktails, and fascinating people in a relaxed non-traditional environment. Join Nashville's emerging and innovative artists for the group's large reunion show. "RETROSPECTIVE" is the latest in a series of successful quarterly exhibitions that support artistic innovation and offer alternative visual art in non-traditional spaces. Untitled charges no commission to exhibiting artists and offers the opportunity for patrons to view and purchase original art by local artists. Patrons may purchase artwork by cash or check and may take their pieces home with them at 10 p.m. the evening of the show.

Untitled looks forward to partnering with 506 EVENTS GALLERY in conjunction with 508 LOFTS. as the location of the summer show. 508 Lofts, located in East Nashville on Davidson Street near the river, was built in the early 1900's as an urban industrial building. 508 Lofts houses unique residential artists lofts, an art gallery and a brand new event space named 506 Events Gallery. This building has become widely known as the location of the popular haunted attraction "Devil's Dungeon." For more information visit 508lofts.com.
