3RD ANNUAL
TOMATO ART SHOW!

In conjunction with the East Nashville Tomato Art Fest - August 12, 2006 @ Five Points!

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, August 12, 2006 - 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm

EXHIBITION: runs August 12 - September 10, 2006

TOMATO ART + EMERGING FRUIT & VEGETABLE ART = A VISUAL FEAST!

The Art & Invention Gallery was voted the #2 Favorite Gallery in the Nashville Scene Reader’s Poll, just behind the Frist Museum. Now The Art & Invention may not have exhibits of Old Masters or ancient Egyptian artifacts, but they sure do know how to showcase a tomato!

The artwork of over 100 talented artists is on display at this beloved art show. Apparently, there is no limit to the ways that a tomato can be interpreted, and we have proof of that with work ranging from the hysterically funny to the exquisitely beautiful.

In the spirit of unity, (and in keeping with our motto, “The Tomato…a Uniter, Not a Divider - Bringing Together Fruits and Vegetables”), we have decided to include a room for emerging fruit and vegetable art at this year’s Tomato Art Fest.

AND... as you enjoy the artwork at the opening reception,, you can also sample award winning BLT’s supplied by the Southern Foodways Alliance while you drink a cool, frosty Yazoo beer or a spicy 19th Hole Bloody Mary!

Be sure to visit the Tomato Art Fest website! There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy!
  • For a trip down memory lane, here is the 2004 Tomato Art Movie!
  • A 2005 video was made by Betty Dylan - super musicians/artists who live in East Nashville... go take a look (it's near the bottom of the page) at www.bettydylan.blogspot.com. Be sure to surf their site for great music and videos!
