10th annual Tomato Art Fest

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

Once again, the time has come to pay homage to that fabulous vegetable/fruit, the TOMATO! It is hard for me to believe that this year will be our TENTH Tomato Art Show!

As always, we plan to astound the tomato loving world with our Tomato Art Show in East Nashville, Tennessee! To do this, we need your help... Please help us celebrate the tomato by saying,

"Yes - I want to make tomato art!"

The 10th annual Tomato Art Fest is set for August 10, 2013. (How auspicious is THAT?) Each year the festival draws thousands of people to East Nashville, and always seems to always garner national attention in addition to bringing in the locals. We hope that you will be compelled to create tomato-inspired artwork to fill the walls of our gallery and add another level of greatness to this already remarkable event.

Here is how it works:

To be selected as a tomato artist, you must submit 3 examples of your CURRENT work to Art & Invention Gallery for jurying. These pieces do NOT have to be tomatoes, just recent examples of the work that you are doing. We accept photographs, digital photos through email, or a request to visit your website.

We are committed to making the jurying process as easy and as accessible as possible!

About The Tomato Art Fest

The Tomato Art Fest was founded by Meg and Bret MacFadyen, owners of East Nashville's Art and Invention Gallery. In 2004, the gallery hosted an art show celebrating the tomato in late summer, and planned a few neighborhood events to promote the show. The Tomato Art Fest proved so popular that it immediately turned into an annual, signature event for the hip, urban neighborhood of East Nashville.

A community builder, the Tomato Art Fest has steadily drawn larger crowds with each year that passes. Lastyear, an estimated 18,000 came to celebrate this beloved fruit/vegetable and enjoy the day's festivities.The Tomato Art Fest is a well-established and highly visible event that will be promoted heavily in print, radio, television, online and through other promotional venues. We are certain this will be the best Tomato Art Fest to date!

Voted "Best Festival" in the 2007, 2008, and 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 Nashville Scene Reader's Polls, the Tomato Art Fest will return this year on Saturday, August 11, 2012. Located in Historic East Nashville's Five Points area, which has been coined by Budget Travel Magazine as "Nashville's version of New York's East Village," this FREE, costume-friendly event provides a fun-filled day for thousands.

With five to six shows annually, including the Tomato Art Show in August and an annual holiday artisan show in December, Art & Invention Gallery focuses year-round on inventiveness in fine art, craft and original furniture. Throughout the year, Art & Invention also hosts adult- and child-friendly workshops to encourage creative expression.
