Artclectic is a vibrant celebration of art and community at University School of Nashville! This annual fundraiser embodies our commitment to originality, creativity, outreach, and support of our dedicated faculty. Throughout multiple nights of events, we welcome our diverse community of neighbors, friends, parents, students, and alumni to join in the festivities. From art appreciation to volunteerism, Artclectic offers something for everyone to enjoy.
“Last fall, I participated in Artclectic for the first time. I was blown away by how this community came together to celebrate creativity, reflection, and self expression. Everything from the way the school set up the gallery space, to how helpful and supportive the organizers and volunteers were, to how contagious the excitement was in that room packed with so many beautiful pieces and thoughtful, curious people ready to connect over art. It was all amazing!” — Artist Ryan Ghertner
Proceeds from Artclectic support innovative teaching by providing funds for our extraordinary teachers to attend workshops, explore new ways of teaching, and bring back innovative and visionary ideas to share with our students and our community.
“I most loved connecting with the audience, hearing what piece they connect with, what emotions arise as they observe the work. I saw that some pieces immediately stood out to some viewers and drew them in right away, which was such an intriguing experience for me to witness.” – artist Wee Ng
Artclectic lives up to its name with a diverse assortment of artists highlighting a rich mix of media, unique in style and price. From California to the Carolinas and throughout the country, artists will gather to share with you their best work.
