UNTITLED ARTIST GROUP PRESENTS “IN ART WE TRUST”

Sometimes all we can trust is our ART and creativity. “In Art We Trust”, Untitled Artist Group‘s Fall Show 2009, goes downtown! On Friday, September 18, 2009 from 6-10pm, trust our art to wow and entertain you in the hottest spot in Nashville, Buffalo Billiards on 2nd Avenue North in the historic district with a fabulous view of the river.

It’s time to enjoy great art, cocktails, and fascinating people in a relaxed, non-traditional environment. A wide variety of artists are participating and most of the works are for sale. Street art, traditional art, sculpture, photography, performance art… if you can dream it up, it’s probably been at one of our shows. Untitled’s uncensored and unjuried exhibits typically feature over 100 artists from around Middle Tennessee, and are free and open to the public.

Also, at the show we will have a silent auction! And what will be in the auction you may ask: cue balls! Yep, artists in the show will have a chance to paint or decorate a cue ball for the “In Art We Trust” silent auction. All of the money the silent auction brings in will continue to support Untitled’s free one night shows, individual artist grants, and more. In addition to the over one hundred artists’ works for sale in the exhibit, the silent auction will allow any visitor a chance to take home a little piece of art for a pool table or as a decoration for the office. Don’t forget to check it out when you step into Untitled’s “In Art We Trust” at Buffalo Billiards in Nashville on September 18.

We will have Music City’s favorite music man, DJ Synapse Trap, serving up a hot helping of fresh and funky grooves.

“In Art We Trust” takes place at Buffalo Billiards 154 Second Avenue North. Buffalo Billiards can accommodate private events from 5 to 500 people. They offer several rooms to choose from to not only fit your needs but your budget as well! So, everyone out there who goes out on Friday night or is looking for something to do, here you go. “In Art We Trust” will be the best art exhibit we will ever see. We guarantee you’ll fall in love with the Nashville visual arts scene.
