COMMUNITY REPORT 2014 | IMPACT
GREETINGS,
This community report acknowledges the generosity of our donors and contributors, members and patrons. With
your help, we are able to offer meaningful opportunities to engage with art, and we are grateful.
In January 2014, the Frist Center received its first regional Emmy® Award in the category of children’s programming
for ArtQuest: Art Is All Around You, a series of one-minute art-related videos produced in partnership with Nashville
Public Television. At the end of each episode, children and their families are encouraged to visit fristkids.org
for additional art activities and online resources. Teacher lesson plans are also available on the site. Viewers
are invited to the Frist Center to visit the Martin
ArtQuest® Gallery, where they can participate in
interactive, intergenerational learning activities.
In this report, you will learn about many other programs
offered to visitors on-site and in the community,
which are designed by our educators to enhance an
understanding of art, other cultures, and ourselves.
All these activities further our vision of using art to
change the way people see their world.
Billy and Jennifer
Frist enjoy tea at
the Frist Gala.
It is not coincidental that exhibitions at the Frist during 2014 investigated contrasting perspectives. In January, Carrie
Mae Weems: Three Decades of Photography and Video, organized by the Frist Center and presented in Nashville in
2012, opened at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the fourth and final venue of its national tour.
Early in the year, Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan presented exquisite comparisons that
demonstrated how different cultures can be mutually enriching, not only visually but also socially. Watch Me Move:
The Animation Show, our first exhibition devoted to animation, was both fun and intellectually stimulating, and
Kandinsky: A Retrospective was a comprehensive look at the working methods of one of the most influential artists
of the twentieth century. Local artists Lain York and Marty Stuart were showcased at the Frist in 2014. Pairing the
work of Steve Mumford and Francisco Goya provided a platform for intense discussions regarding the trauma of
war. We ended the year with Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders in Renaissance
Italy, our first exhibition devoted to Renaissance art and the first in Nashville since 1934, when works from the
Kress Collection were on view at the Parthenon. A full account of the year’s exhibitions appears in this report.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, I want to thank each of you for being a part of our mission and
for your generous support of the Frist Center.
Sincerely,
Billy Frist

FRIENDS,
In 2014, the Frist Center welcomed more than 200,000 visitors. Thanks to the generosity of the donors
acknowledged in this report, the Frist Center has become a treasured community resource, valued for its
historic architecture as well as for providing access to world-class art, public programs, and opportunities
for fellowship. The Frist Center is sustained not only by financial gifts but also by donated time and talent.
Katie Delmez and
Susan Edwards

Armstrong, director
of the Solomon
R. Guggenheim
Museum, at the
opening of Carrie
Mae Weems:
Three Decades of
Photography and
Video in New York
We thank each of you for investing in the quality of life in Nashville by supporting the Frist Center. Our
gratitude extends to trustees, sponsors, foundations, government agencies, members, and a hardworking,
loyal staff. Also, for over one hundred years, Tennessee
has been known as the Volunteer State because of the
role played by volunteer soldiers. That tradition of
selflessness extends to community service, and we
gratefully acknowledge the many hours donated by
our volunteers, who help in myriad ways.
Countless hours are contributed by committee members to
ensure the success of our two major annual fundraisers.
Cathy Brown and Betsy Wills, the 2014 Frist Gala co-chairs,
exceeded all expectations. We thank them and the corps of
dedicated friends and colleagues who worked tirelessly on
Frist Gala events. We are also indebted to Taylor Middleton and Heidi Rose, who served as co-chairs for An
Art Deco Affair. Their committee of volunteers rallied to support this annual occasion, which raises funds for
the ongoing maintenance of the historic art deco building that houses the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
In this report, you will read about the exhibitions and programs the Frist Center offered members and visitors
throughout 2014. Without your help, they would not have been possible. With each story of a path changed,
an idea revealed, or a window opened, we rededicate ourselves to providing Middle Tennessee with a place
for visitors to see, learn, and interact with art.
We thank you again for your generosity and hope that you are inspired to continue your support in the year
to come. We pledge responsible stewardship and our full commitment to the mission of bringing the world’s
great art to Nashville, serving the vision of using art to change the way people see their world.
We hope that when you visit the Frist Center, you find the experience you seek. Please join us as often as you can.
Sincerely,
Susan H. Edwards, PhD

COMMUNITY REPORT 2014 | INSPIRE
EXHIBITIONS OVERVIEW
In reviewing the 2014 exhibitions, we see reminders of the many ways that different cultures overlap and
enrich each other. Civilizations have long been invigorated by the assimilation or adaptation of the languages,
customs, and expressions of the societies with which they come into contact through trade, exploration,
or war. Many visitors to Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan reported being surprised to
learn of the influence of Japanese art on the works of Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. Approaches
they had assumed were intrinsically European were actually imports that took root in the fertile ground of
early modernism, yielding the wonderful hybrids we so admire today.
While art arising from benign cultural commingling can be exhilarating, concurrent exhibitions in the
Upper-Level Galleries on the subject of war demonstrated that conflict between cultures can also inspire
creativity. Goya: The Disasters of War and Steve Mumford’s War Journals, 2003–2013 presented two
distinct visions of war. Goya’s famous print cycle emphasized the pain and horror experienced during the
Peninsular Wars between France and Spain (1808–1814). As true as the images may be with regard to
capturing humanity’s capacity for cruelty, it is a truth that supersedes fact—Goya was unlikely to have
been an eyewitness to much of what he depicted. Mumford was an actual observer. While he did
experience battle, for the most part his works show periods between combat on the streets of Baghdad or
Mosul, negotiations between the military and local leaders, and the efforts of civilians to lead normal lives.
In viewing his works, we can momentarily imagine ourselves as soldiers—even as Baghdadis—striving to
cope in the face of conflict.
EXHIBITIONS
11
The international transmission of technology, style,
and narrative was evident in Watch Me Move:
The Animation Show, an anthology showing the
rapid rise and global spread of animation as an
art form. Visitors had the opportunity to compare
Walt Disney’s renowned studio productions to the
brilliant individualism of Czech auteurs like Jan
Švankmaier, and to think of Chuck Jones—creator
of Daffy Duck—and the South African artist
William Kentridge as kindred spirits in terms of
deconstructive invention. In our galleries, the
cultures of the world have rarely seemed so
entwined: Watch Me Move highlighted the
influence of Japanese anime on American youth,
the German avant-garde’s contributions to Disney,
and American Max Fleischer’s rotoscoping process
being used by the Wan brothers in Shanghai, China.
The energy that comes from the infusion of outside
influences was also the underlying subject of Real/
Surreal: Selections from the Whitney Museum of
American Art. The exhibition included American
paintings and works on paper by artists as diverse
as Edward Hopper and Man Ray while citing the
influence of French Surrealism on American art of
the mid-twentieth century. By blurring the boundaries
between seemingly opposed approaches, Real/Surreal
raised fascinating questions about notions of
national style, authenticity, and adaptation.
The confluence of international styles can appear
in the works of a single artist as well, as seen in
Kandinsky: A Retrospective. Throughout his career,
the artist was in thrall to his Russian origins,
employing imagery relating to the Orthodox faith
EXHIBITIONS
and Russian fables and folk art. Yet his exposure to
the works of Henri Matisse in Paris and the German
Expressionists helped ignite his desire to use color
as a vehicle for conveying primal emotions.
Competition within a culture can also spark innovation.
Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and
Franciscan Orders in Renaissance Italy offered a
comparison between the works of two mendicant
orders in Renaissance Italy who used art as
propaganda for their respective teachings. Each
order commissioned artists to portray its sacred
narratives, which were often created in response to
the other’s—for example, if Saint Francis of Assisi
had stigmata, the Dominicans’ Saint Catherine of
Siena should have these marks of Christ’s crucifixion
as well. But the rapid stylistic developments that
led to the flowering of the Renaissance did not arise
solely from Italian traditions; many of the works
in the exhibition show the influence of Byzantine
panel paintings.
In contemporary art, globalism seems to have
flattened the world. Yet in counterpoint to the
cross-fertilization shown in many of the year’s
exhibitions, solo exhibitions in the Gordon
Contemporary Artists Project (CAP) Gallery and the
Conte Community Arts Gallery featured American
artists whose works related specifically to their
own region or country. Nashville artist Lain York’s
Selections from the National Gallery evoked
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America’s
strident political discourse. Another Nashvillian,
musician and photographer Marty Stuart,
presented engaging photographs of fellow
12
musicians, small-town residents, and Native Americans in his Conte Community Arts Gallery exhibition
American Ballads: The Photographs of Marty Stuart. One cannot think of CAP Gallery artist Maira Kalman
without thinking of her home, New York City, a locale so well suited to her urbanity and taste for eclecticism,
both of which are reflected in the illustrations on view in Maira Kalman: The Elements of Style. The final CAP
gallery exhibition of the year, Helen Pashgian: Light Invisible, included works by an artist long associated
with the Light and Space school that originated in Southern California.

Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan
January 31–May 11, 2014 | Ingram Gallery
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries witnessed an explosion of interest
in all things Japanese, which prompted a correspondingly radical shift in modern art
that was dubbed japonisme by the Parisian critic Philippe Burty in 1872. Looking East:
Western Artists and the Allure of Japan explored the fruitful encounter between
East and West by showing Japanese ukiyo-e prints and decorative arts alongside the
paintings and prints of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet,
and Edvard Munch, and the furniture of Frank Lloyd Wright. The exhibition was
drawn from the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which has one of the
finest collections of both Japanese art and American and European art of this period
in the world.
Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Lain York: Selections from the National Gallery
January 31–May 11, 2014 | Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery
Nashville artist Lain York was inspired by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history,
political cartoons, and engravings to create the vinyl collages in this exhibition. York’s
vignettes combine abstraction with interpretations of the ambiguous information that
comes to us from the past. Each work’s cryptic title evokes the biting rhetoric that has
always marked our public discourse.
Lain York: Selections from the National Gallery was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
EXHIBITIONS

Steve Mumford’s War Journals, 2003–2013
February 28–June 8, 2014 | Upper-Level Galleries
For eight years, artist Steve Mumford traveled to occupied Iraq and war zones in Afghanistan, capturing—in drawings,
recent watercolors, and written journals—the experiences of American troops and civilians in these regions. With
sensitivity, urgency, and empathy, he portrayed the stress of occupation, the after-effects of battle in hospitals and
therapeutic settings, and the resiliency of even the most traumatized. The exhibition included recent watercolors
created at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, exploring broader implications of American efforts to combat terrorism.
Steve Mumford’s War Journals, 2003–2013 was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
Goya: The Disasters of War
February 28–June 8, 2014 | Upper-Level Galleries
Featuring a complete set of the first published edition of etchings produced by
Spanish painter Francisco Goya, The Disasters of War (Los Desastres de la Guerra)
documented the horrors occurring during the Peninsular War of 1808–1814 between
Spain and France under Napoleon Bonaparte. The etchings were grouped into
three main sections: the effects of war, the Madrid famine of 1811–1812, and
the disappointment at the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. Perhaps because
of their criticism of both France and the restored Bourbon monarchy, or perhaps
because of their difficult subject matter, they were commercially unviable, and the
works were not published until 1863, three decades after Goya’s death.
Goya: The Disasters of War was a collaboration of Pomona College Museum of Art and the University Museums of the University of Delaware.
EXHIBITIONS
15
American Ballads: The Photographs of Marty Stuart
May 9–November 2, 2014 | Conte Community Arts Gallery
Country music star Marty Stuart is a master storyteller not only in his songs, but also through his
black-and-white photographs, which range from behind-the-scenes depictions of legendary musicians
and images of eccentric characters from the back roads of America to dignified portraits of members
of the impoverished Lakota tribe in South Dakota. Whatever the subject, Stuart teases out something
unexpected or hidden beneath the surface.
This exhibition was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
EXHIBITIONS
16
Watch Me Move: The Animation Show
June 6–September 1, 2014 | Ingram Gallery
A celebration of film animation, Watch Me Move included over one
hundred works produced around the world since the 1890s. It featured
industry pioneers, independent filmmakers, and contemporary artists,
including Étienne-Jules Marey, Harry Smith, and William Kentridge,
alongside the works of commercial studios such as Aardman, Walt
Disney, Pixar, Studio Ghibli, and Warner Bros.
Watch Me Move: The Animation Show was organized by Barbican Centre, London.
The Barbican Centre is provided by the City of London Corporation.
Maira Kalman: The Elements of Style
June 6–September 1, 2014 | Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery
This exhibition featured gouache paintings by artist, illustrator, and author
Maira Kalman, which were created to illustrate The Elements of Style.
This treatise on the principles of writing was first published in 1919 by
Cornell University professor William Strunk, Jr., and revised and reissued
by the author E. B. White in 1957. In her illustrations, Kalman interpreted
phrases from the book, using strong colors, expressive drawing, and
irrepressible humor to make intuitive leaps between the authors’
prescriptions and her own vivid imaginings.
Maira Kalman: The Elements of Style was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
EXHIBITIONS
17
Real/Surreal: Selections from the
Whitney Museum of American Art
June 27–October 13, 2014 | Upper-Level Galleries
American artists working from the 1930s through the 1950s often explored
connections between the observed and the imagined. Many of the painters
in Real/Surreal were inspired by Surrealism, a movement that originated
in Paris in the 1920s, which strove to reveal unconscious realities through
art and poetry. Some Americans, such as Kay Sage and Man Ray, followed
Salvador Dalí’s lead in using illusionistic representation to propose fantastic
dream worlds. Others, like Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, subtly
invested images of the everyday with compelling psychological undercurrents.
Real/Surreal was organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
Kandinsky: A Retrospective
September 26, 2014–January 4, 2015 | Ingram Gallery
This exhibition followed the career of Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most
influential artists of the twentieth century. It began with early figurative
paintings, and then continued with a selection of exuberant abstractions
Kandinsky made between 1911 and 1914, which emphasized spirituality
over materialism. Later geometric works—created at the Bauhaus, an
important school for art, design, and architecture in Germany—showed
Kandinsky’s interest in analyzing the dynamic language of geometrical
form. The exhibition concluded with paintings produced in Paris, which
combine geometry with organic forms that reflect the influence of Surrealism.
Kandinsky: A Retrospective was organized by the Centre Pompidou, Paris,
and the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Helen Pashgian: Light Invisible
September 26, 2014–January 4, 2015 | Gordon Contemporary Artists
Project Gallery
Since the 1960s, Helen Pashgian, a native of Pasadena, California, has
explored the expressive qualities of light as it interacts with industrial
materials such as fiberglass, polyester resin, and glass. This exhibition
included six tall columns made of molded acrylic sheets, in which internal
elements reflected and refracted light in ways that changed depending on
the position of the viewer. Also on view were gemlike spheres and cast
epoxy wall pieces, which invited viewers to look from a variety of positions,
engaging the entire body in the act of perception.
Helen Pashgian: Light Invisible was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan
Orders in Renaissance Italy
October 31, 2014–January 25, 2015 | Upper-Level Galleries
The first exhibition dedicated to Italian Renaissance art in Nashville since
1934, Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders
in Renaissance Italy explored the role of two major religious orders in the
revival of the arts in Italy during the period from 1200 to 1550. The exhibition
presented drawings, illuminated manuscripts, liturgical objects, paintings,
prints, printed books, and sculptures from the collections of major
American and European libraries and museums, including works of art
from the Vatican Library and Vatican Museums that had never before been
exhibited in the United States.
Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders in Renaissance Italy
was organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts.

COMMUNITY REPORT 2014 | EDUCATE
Assistant curator of
interpretation Ginny
Soenksen leads
FCVA volunteers
on a tour to help
familiarize them with
an exhibition.
The Education and Outreach Department inspires creativity and appreciation of the visual arts with
programming for audiences with multiple learning styles. Throughout 2014, participants explored,
discovered, and created art through various opportunities that addressed learners of all ages and
abilities and reached over 130,000 visitors.
Volunteers remain a vital part of the Frist Center family and visitor experience. The FCVA volunteer
program includes 266 dedicated volunteers, with 97 new participants in 2014. These individuals contributed
approximately 19,000 hours of their time to the successful operation of the Frist Center through their
presence in Martin ArtQuest®, in the Gift Shop, at the Information Desk, at Coat Check, and in our
administrative offices. They also greeted our visitors, handed out audio tours, and welcomed guests to
special events, such as member previews and Frist Fridays. Docents provided invaluable support by leading
guided tours for visitors of all ages. Special events to recognize volunteers included a behind-the-scenes
look at Jack White’s Third Man Records, a tour of United Record Pressing, and trips to other cultural sites.

OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Outreach and community engagement is a centerpiece of the Frist Center’s mission. FCVA teams up
with local service providers to develop programs that
thoughtfully cross cultural, economic, educational,
generational, and social divides. In 2014, FCVA
actively partnered with 57 community organizations
(our Sustaining and Core Partners) through hands-on
workshops, including the ArtTrunk program, a mobile
art-making kit that reached 50 organizations and
1,486 participants. An additional twenty-seven community organizations maintained Affinity Partnership
status and participated in Frist Center programs on an
occasional basis. The partnerships were celebrated
with an art show in the Education Corridor in May.
Special projects included Exquisite Nashville, an
initiative that continued our exploration of the
changing face of Nashville through various cultural
groups. Participating organizations were the Center
for Immigrants and Refugees of Tennessee, Conexión
Américas, Edmondson Pike Branch Library, and Room
in the Inn. This project has received funding from the
Nissan Foundation and the U.S. Bank Foundation.
Artworks created for this project during 2014 will be
on view in the Conte Community Arts Gallery from
March 13 through July 5, 2015.
During the summer, FCVA staff celebrated World
Refugee Day by creating an artwork with teaching
22
artist Audrey Deal-McEver and teens from Oasis
Center at The Nashville Food Project’s Wedgewood
Urban Gardens. Project Access, a collaborative
project with the public library system, continued this
year with participants from Conexión Américas. In
the fall, staff volunteered at the Eighteenth Avenue
Family Enrichment Center, a Frist Center partner, for
the KaBOOM! community playground build.
In response to our partners’ requests to educate
their communities on elements and principles
of art, a pilot program, Frist Community Studio,
was launched. It made a strategic alignment with
Martin ArtQuest and the newly launched Nashville
Public Television (NPT) ArtQuest: Art Is All Around
You TV segments. Off-site location visits for this
program included Metro Parks and Recreation
centers (Coleman Regional, East Regional, Hadley
Regional, Hartman Regional, and McCabe Regional);
Nashville Public Library branches (Edmondson Pike,
Green Hills, Goodlettsville, and Thompson Lane);
Oasis Center’s R.E.A.L. Program; Room in the Inn;
and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center’s Hispanic Family
Support Group. In total, visits were made to 17
locations, reaching over 300 people across
Davidson County.
FCVA maintains a strong relationship with teachers
and schools. The Frist Center’s educational resources
enrich visual arts curricula for grades K–12 through
professional development opportunities, including
in-service programs and exhibition-related workshops
that support Common Core State Standards and
address broad, cross-discipline themes. In addition,
FCVA educational resources are utilized by homeschool groups throughout the area. As part of the
Center’s commitment to children 18 and younger,
free admission is provided and assistance with
transportation costs for school groups is offered.
In preparation for school tours, FCVA produced
educator resource guides, which contain color
art reproductions, curriculum connections, and
exhibition-related activities. In 2014, over 13,000
children visited FCVA through guided and selfguided tours. FCVA proudly hosted art shows for
several school districts, including Williamson
County, Wilson County, and the Franklin Special
School District, as well as the Mayor’s Art Shows
for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS).
More than 1,000 children exhibited their artwork
at these shows. Special receptions were held to
honor the students and art teachers, with more
than 4,000 people in attendance.
The community engagement team reached over
1,200 people at fairs and festivals throughout
the city, including the Nashville Cherry Blossom
Festival, Martha O’Bryan’s Ice Cream Crankin’,
the Cumberland River Dragon Boat Festival, the
African Street Festival, Gordon Jewish Community
Center’s Art on the West Side, Tennessee Craft’s
Fall Fair, Celebrate Nashville, the National Down
Syndrome Society’s Buddy Walk®, and Safe Haven
Family Shelter’s Hike for the Homeless.

INTERPRETATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS
Our interpretative material and programs are developed in a variety of formats with our visitors’ interests
in mind, attracting an increasingly diverse audience of both novice and experienced visitors and fostering
meaningful connections with art. New initiatives during 2014 included additional accessibility programs.
The Frist Center partnered with Bridges, a Nashville-area nonprofit resource for deaf, hard of hearing, and
hearing communities, to provide American Sign Language interpreters for docent-guided and architecture
tours on the first Saturday of each month. Multisensory tours designed for visitors with blindness and low
vision were piloted during Sanctity Pictured. Making Memories, a program designed to engage senior citizens
with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers in looking at and responding to works of art, continued through a
collaboration with the Middle Tennessee Alzheimer’s Association.
Frist Center staff also met with a remarkable group of U.S. army veterans, educators, therapists, and
advocates to discuss the exhibition and programming for Goya: The Disasters of War and Steve Mumford’s
War Journals, 2003–2013. This focus group inspired a new series called Connecting Conversations,
developed to provide deeper engagement with the thematic content of these exhibitions. It reached
seventy-two visitors through two gallery programs.

The panelists for
the October 7
“Food for Thought:
Kandinsky–Exploring
Connections between
Music, Science,
Spirituality, and the
Visual Arts” were
Ginny Soenksen,
assistant curator of
interpretation, Frist
Center for the Visual
Arts; Joy H. Calico,
associate professor
of musicology and
director of the Max
Kade Center for
European and German
Studies, Vanderbilt
University; and
Megan Robertson,

Frist Center for the
Visual Arts.
Films continued to be well received, with over 900 in
attendance at screenings. “Film and Food: Yojimbo,”
presented during Looking East, paired bento box
suppers from Zumi Sushi with a screening of Akira
Kurosawa’s samurai classic Yojimbo. In July, during
Watch Me Move, Belcourt Theatre collaborated with
the Frist Center to present a series of exhibitioninspired midnight movies, and its Saturday morning
children’s programs focused on animation. And,
three local breweries—Jackalope, Turtle Anarchy,
and Yazoo—participated in the Art of Beer: The Art
of Inebriation in Animation.
Two three-part art history courses were offered
during the year. “American Realism and Surrealism,
1920–1950,” with Vivien Green Fryd, Vanderbilt
University professor in the Department of History
of Art, was offered during Real/Surreal, and a
Renaissance art history course was taught by Jim
Womack, Jackson Family Chair of the Visual and
Performing Arts Department, Montgomery Bell
Academy, as part of Sanctity Pictured.
In partnership with Vanderbilt University’s Office
of Community, Neighborhood, and Government
Relations, the Food for Thought program was held
in conjunction with the exhibition Kandinksy: A
Retrospective. It focused on Kandinsky’s interests
in music, science, spirituality, and the visual arts.
This three-part lunch and lecture series offered
insights from Vanderbilt professors and Frist Center
staff to the community at large. The series brought
563 guests to the Frist Center.
In response to Looking East, Company Rose, with support
from the Martha Rivers Ingram Commons at Vanderbilt
University, presented two performances of an original
dance composition, Pools of Glass, seen by approximately
300 attendees in February. In November, Robbie
Lynn Hunsinger created an interactive installation,
Blue-Yellow-Red, inspired by the art and writings of
Wassily Kandinsky, and composed a complementary
concert piece that incorporated acoustic instruments,
a laptop, and a projector, with virtuoso bassist Missy
Raines joining her for the premiere performance.

Sixty adults participated in a variety of hands-on
exhibition-related workshops. During Looking East,
“Traveling East to West with Tea,” “Elements of
Batik: Eastern Symbols in Western Fashion,” and
“Sumi-e to Plein Air: Landscape Painting Workshop”
(offered in collaboration with Cheekwood Botanical
Garden & Museum of Art) all sold out. A two-part
workshop on color exploration and technical rendering
through drawing was offered during Real/Surreal.
work of Helen Pashgian. “Understanding Kandinsky
in His Early Twentieth-Century Context” was
presented by Linda Dalrymple Henderson, professor
of art history at The University of Texas at Austin.
Curators who offered tours of various exhibitions
included Janis Tomlinson, director of University of
Delaware’s University Museums, for Goya, and Holly
Flora, associate professor in Tulane University’s
History of Art program, for Sanctity Pictured.
Opportunities were offered to hear from artists in
various exhibitions, including Steve Mumford; Lain York;
Marty Stuart and his mother, Hilda Stuart; and Maira
Kalman. The Artist’s Forum series, which brought
local artists together to discuss their works, was
reconceptualized to highlight the artists’ relationships
to current exhibitions. Artists James Perrin and Jody
Hayes, Jonathan Rattner and Michael Lapinsky, and
Mark Hosford and Barry Jones participated in series
connected to the 2013 exhibition Abstractometry and
2014’s Watch Me Move.
Audio tours remained extremely popular with FCVA
visitors. FCVA staff wrote and produced audio tours
for Looking East, Real/Surreal, and Sanctity Pictured,
and partnered with the Milwaukee Art Museum to
produce an audio tour for Kandinsky: A Retrospective.
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia and the male a
cappella group Schola Pacis contributed their time
and talents to perform thirteenth-century Dominican
chants selected from two manuscripts in the
exhibition for the audio tour for Sanctity Pictured.
All audio tours were recorded and edited at Ocean
Way Nashville Recording Studios.
Throughout the year, curators, scholars, and experts
shared insights into the exhibitions through lectures.
Highlights included the introduction to Looking East
by Helen Burnham, curator of prints and drawings
at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the survey of
japonisme’s impact on Western fashion by Patricia
Mears, deputy director of the Museum at the Fashion
Institute of Technology. Elliott Wilhelm, curator of
film at the Detroit Institute of Art, gave a lecture on
animation in conjunction with the exhibition Watch
Me Move. During the opening weekend of Kandinsky
and Helen Pashgian, Angela Lampe, curator of
modern art at Centre Pompidou, presented a lecture
on Kandinsky, and Carol Eliel, curator at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art, gave a tour of the
Members of local a cappella choir Schola Pacis—Nelson Berry, Riley Bryant,
Gregg Colson, Rick Seay, Chris Simonsen, and Matt Smyth—sing a selection
from a thirteenth-century choirbook for inclusion in the audio tour for Sanctity
Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders in Renaissance Italy.
An interactive iPad station conceptualized, written,
and produced by Interpretation staff was designed
to introduce visitors to Wassily Kandinsky’s color
theory in the exhibition Kandinsky: A Retrospective.
The Frist Center’s mobile interpretive platform,
Toursphere, was also used to deliver exhibition
content to visitors.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Experiential learning is a recent focus of the education department and encompasses the myriad opportunities
available to high school and college students to learn about museum careers. FCVA supplied speakers for
career exploration events, facilitated site visits, and offered job-shadowing opportunities for students and
teachers. In addition, we provided support for the senior capstone projects that all MNPS students must
complete to graduate. Students interested in more in-depth career exploration also participated at the
Frist Center as volunteers, interns, or teaching assistants.
This year twenty-six students gained valuable experience and college credits as interns in FCVA’s education,
exhibitions, design, and development departments. Students came from local and national institutions,
including Belmont University, Fisk University, Lipscomb University, Middle Tennessee State University,
Ohio State University, San Diego State University, University of Alabama, University of Florida, University
of Tennessee at Martin, Vanderbilt University, Watkins College of Art, Design and Film, Western Kentucky
University, and Wofford College. Three college students were selected for the Teaching Assistant Program,
which introduced them to museum education by providing hands-on teaching experiences. These positions
required a greater time commitment, and included a small stipend. The Frist Center was pleased to be one
of thirteen art museums to participate in a pilot program with the Association of Art Museum Directors and
the United Negro College Fund. The program established fellowships for students of color to gain experience
in the museum sector; during the fall semester, Fisk University sophomore Christopher Lowe, supervised
by Deputy Director Ashley Howell, worked on FCVA’s reaccreditation materials.

FCVA continued to support MNPS’s Academies
of Nashville program as a member of the Arts,
Media and Communication advisory council and
as a partner with Hillwood Comp High School’s
Arts, Media and Communication Academy.
Through the Pencil Foundation, FCVA also
supported Antioch High School, Hume-Fogg
Academic Magnet High School, and Nashville
School of the Arts. Conversations continued with
museum magnets John Early Middle School and
Robert Churchwell Elementary School to identify
ways Frist Center staff can support the schools’
educators and students. Staff also participated
on various Alignment Nashville committees,
including those for elementary, middle, and high
school concerns, as well as on the operating board.
A special highlight this year was Fashion Reaction!,
the capstone project of Eva Young, a MNPS Big
Picture High School senior and a FCVA intern from
2012 to 2014. The performance art piece, held in
the Frist Center Auditorium, had ninety-three
attendees, combined video, poetry, and fashion,
and showcased the influences of various exhibitions,
from 2012’s Carrie Mae Weems to 2013’s 30
Americans to 2014’s Looking East. Eva worked
with Frist Center mentors over a two-year period
and, prior to the final presentation, was interviewed
by Channel 5’s Vicki Yates for the segment “School
Patrol.” She is now pursuing her education at
Nashville State Community College.
Lindsey Victoria Thompson, a 2011 Hume-Fogg
graduate, wrote Phoebe at the Frist, a children’s
book, as her senior capstone project while
volunteering in the Martin ArtQuest Gallery and
Gift Shop and serving on both the Volunteer
Advisory Council and Education Council of the
Frist Center. Now an undergraduate student at
New York University, Lindsey returned to the Frist
Center in December for a book signing with her
step-grandfather, Walter Knestrick, Phoebe at the
Frist’s illustrator.

YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS
A recent partnership with Nashville Public Television
(NPT) inspired by Martin ArtQuest Gallery invites
children to explore, create, make, and talk about art
at the Frist Center and beyond. The thirty one-minute
Emmy®-winning TV episodes called ArtQuest: Art Is
All Around You air during children’s programming
on NPT. All the current segments are available on
fristkids.org, and selected episodes are shown on-site
in the Martin ArtQuest Gallery. Each online episode
has an accompanying art activity designed for children
to follow, using easily accessible materials found in
their homes or neighborhoods. A fun, interactive version
of fristkids.org is anticipated for 2015.
Our youth initiatives include the newly formed
Teen Advisory Group, comprising seventeen
students from eight public and private high schools
across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville and
Lebanon. These students will plan and implement
quarterly MAQ Attack! teen events, to be held in
the Martin ArtQuest Gallery and throughout the
Frist Center. Also, ArtLab, which presents young
artists between the ages of 14 and 18 the opportunity
to work with contemporary art and artists, was
offered in the spring and for the first time during
Summer Art Camp.
Frist Center educators continued a new aspect of
the 2013 project Stop. Take Notice! with Hume-Fogg
Academic Magnet High School students. Teens
developed multiple collaborative art-making
projects as part of their pedestrian awareness
campaign. Teams of students stenciled and spray
chalked alerts and pasted handbills throughout
several downtown intersections to raise awareness
about driver and pedestrian safety. This project
was inspired by the memory of Hume-Fogg student
Elena Zamora, who had participated in the original

in the crosswalk close to the high school in 2013.
We continue to offer a variety of opportunities for
families to learn about art together. Children ages
three and up can participate in a monthly storytelling
program, Artful Tales, which includes a hands-on
art-making component; it reached 539 participants
this year. A candy sushi family workshop was
well received by 53 participants. Parents and
kids enjoyed learning about Japanese dishes
and recreating the food with Rice Krispies treats,
gummy bears, and other confectionery delights.
Two free Family Festival Days presented an
interdisciplinary approach to specific exhibitions,
drawing 2,762 visitors to Looking East in the spring
and, in the fall, to Kandinsky, Sanctity Pictured,
and Helen Pashgian. Robbie Lynn Hunsinger’s
special pop-up art installation in the Rechter Room
was part of the fall Family Festival Day event.

Frank Lloyd Wright: Building the Imperial Hotel
January 31–May 11, 2014 | Ingram Gallery
The Education Gallery exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright: Building the
Imperial Hotel allowed visitors to explore in greater depth how a single
Western architect melded Japanese and Western aesthetics to create
a hotel intended to symbolize both cultural exchange and Japan’s
modernity. Visitors considered Wright’s design process and inspirations
through architect’s drawings, photographs, and ephemera, as well as
through an interactive mood board. A digital rendering of the hotel
created by the Harvard University Graduate School of Design was also
part of the exhibition.
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts gratefully acknowledges the generous support
of the Friends of Architecture.
Young Tennessee Artists:
2014 Statewide Upper-Level Studio Art
November 7, 2014–March 8, 2015 | Conte Community Arts Gallery
This fifth biennial exhibition showcased a selection of the finest artwork
created in Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate
(IB) studio art programs throughout Tennessee in 2014. The thirty-nine
drawings, paintings, photographs, and mixed-media works represented
student artists from sixteen schools and were chosen from six hundred
submissions statewide.
Works in this exhibition were selected for their skillful synthesis of
form, technique, and content. Their range and quality of work
demonstrate the growing sophistication of AP and IB Studio Art
programs across Tennessee.

SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT
Through a number of online outlets and social media platforms, the Frist Center continued to reach new
audiences and foster a dialogue with its current community members. In 2014, the Frist Center reached
24,000 Facebook fans, 18,100 Twitter followers, 1,700 Instagram followers, and 1,700 Pinterest followers.
The Frist Center works diligently to use social media as a tool to build stronger relationships with the
community while offering online access to the institution, exhibitions, and programs.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS PROGRAMS
The goal of all community relations efforts is to make diverse groups feel welcome at the Frist Center.
Notably, in 2014, the Frist Center worked with an advisory committee of military veterans and counselors
from Clarksville-based organization Soldiers And Families Embraced (SAFE) to successfully engage veterans
and active-duty service members and their families during the exhibitions of Goya: The Disasters of War
and Steve Mumford’s War Journals, 2003–2013.
The painting of the Frist Center bollards by area artists was a project that was revitalized in 2014 for
Artober Nashville. Local artists and artist groups were invited to submit designs inspired by Frist Center
exhibitions. More than fifty local artists and artist teams responded, and the results of their work were
enjoyed through the winter.

COLLEGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
College students continue to be involved with the Frist Center. Over the last several years, attendance by
college students has grown steadily on Thursday and Friday evenings, when the Frist Center is open until
9:00 p.m. and students with college IDs are admitted free of charge.
Helping build this audience is the Frist Center’s College Advisory Committee. Each year, the Frist Center
recruits enthusiastic students to serve on the committee, and in 2014, its members represented eleven
colleges and universities from Middle Tennessee and beyond. Members of the College Advisory Committee
assist in relaying information about exhibitions, programs, and activities to their communities. This year’s
committee also helped to shape a special College Night at the Frist. Held on Thursday, October 16, it included
free parking, an open mic performance by Southern Word poets, a DJ set, light snacks in the Auditorium,
art-making in Martin ArtQuest Gallery, a NowPlayingNashville.com photo booth, and a drawing for tickets
to upcoming concerts provided by presenting sponsor AEG Live.

SPEAKERS BUREAU
SENIOR MONDAYS
The Frist Center Speakers Bureau has been active
since before the Frist Center opened in 2001. Staff
and volunteers provide an array of interesting
programs for business, civic, church, senior, and
social organizations. In 2014, more than 6,500
people learned more about the institution and its
offerings through Speakers Bureau presentations.
Volunteer and activist Genma Holmes focused her
efforts on connecting Middle Tennessee’s military
community with the exhibitions Goya: Disasters of
War and Steve Mumford’s War Journals, 2003–
2013. We are grateful to her and all our Frist Center
volunteers for their tireless support of our mission.
On Senior Mondays—the third Monday of each
month—the Frist Center offers half-price admission,
live music in the Grand Lobby, discounts in the
Gift Shop, and special pricing in the Café to all
willing to claim their “senior” status. Working with
FiftyForward Senior Center, church groups, senior
communities, and assisted living facilities, the
Frist Center is proud to be a popular destination
for seniors. In 2014, approximately seven hundred
visitors attended our twelve Senior Mondays.

AFFINITY DAYS
Affinity Days are periods of time when organized
groups are welcomed at the Frist Center free of
charge. We work with civic and nonprofit organizations, church groups, businesses, and alumni groups
to create these opportunities. In 2014, approximately
350 visitors enjoyed free admission through our
Affinity Day program. Designed to remove barriers to
attending the Frist, Affinity Days bring in participants
who are often first-time visitors.
GIFT SHOP
The Frist Center Gift Shop is designed to extend the
delight of a visit to the Center’s galleries. With the
aid of colleagues and suggestions of visitors, the Gift
Shop staff searches for items from around the region
and around the world. Because much of the merchandise
in the Gift Shop relates to our exhibitions, the offerings
change frequently. In addition to a wide variety of
exhibition catalogues and reference books, visitors
will find prints, art-making supplies, educational
toys, clothing, jewelry and other accessories,
stationery, and music, including CDs that feature
the generous musicians who perform for Music at
the Frist on Thursday and Friday evenings. The Gift
Shop staff works closely with the exhibition staff
and educators to enhance the museum experience
and to offer patrons tangible reminders of their visits.
MUSIC AT THE FRIST
The Frist Center presents free live music in the Frist
Center Café each Thursday and Friday evening (with
the exception of Frist Fridays) with performances
by local and regional musicians and performance
artists. The range of genres mirrors the tremendous
variety of music available in Nashville. On these
nights, visitors might hear jazz, blues, classical,
gospel, bluegrass, Latin, Brazilian, Eastern European
folk dance, Americana, medieval, or Renaissance
music. In 2014, the Frist Center recognized in-kind
gifts from more than 125 musicians. We are
tremendously grateful to the artists who donate
their time and talent to us and, in so doing, enrich
the experiences we offer our visitors.

dinner under a tent adorned with a breathtaking Japanese parasol sculpture that snaked along the ceiling.
The 2014 Frist Gala raised funds for the Frist Center’s educational and outreach programming initiatives. We
thank Cathy Brown and Betsy Wills, as well as the committee chairs and volunteers, for devoting their time
and efforts to the Frist Center. We also thank the generous patrons, the members of the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s
Committees, the gala attendees, and all the others who contributed to this incredibly successful event.

Deco Affair in our
Grand Lobby.

An Art Deco Affair, held on Saturday, August 16, brought nearly 200 guests to the Frist Center for a night
celebrating both the building in which the Frist Center is housed and the exhibition Watch Me Move:
The Animation Show. Co-chairs Taylor Middleton and Heidi and Tony Rose helped plan this event, which
attracted many guests who had never previously visited the Frist Center. Partygoers were encouraged to
dress as “flappers or dapper gents” to go along with the Art Deco/1920s theme. Food was provided by
Sharon Johnson Catering, and guests enjoyed live music from the Aaron Till Jazz Duo while they ate and
danced. Attendees who chose to take a break from the many festivities in the Grand Lobby could make
their way into the Ingram Gallery to view Watch Me Move or go on a docent-led architecture tour of the
building. An Art Deco Affair is now an annual summer event at the Frist. All proceeds from the event, along
with money raised from members of the Art Deco Society, support the care and maintenance of the Frist
Center’s historic Art Deco building.
Special thanks to the following sponsors of An Art Deco Affair: Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Nashville
Lifestyles, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and NowPlayingNashville.com.
