Fort Houston Art Show Ends This Weekend

Hello, Chestnuts,

Here’s hoping your holidays have been happy and you are looking forward to a bright New Year. Thanks to all the artists and volunteers who have participated in The Fort Houston show. It is going to be hanging through Saturday if you have anyone else that you would like to invite to see the show (see graphic) or, you want to go by for another look yourself. The show is open while Fort Houston is open. To schedule a visit, reach out to alyssa@forthouston.com.

For those of you who have work in the show, painting pick up will be on Sunday afternoon from noon to four. If you are unable to pick up during this time, please make arrangements for another painter to take your paintings for you.

All the best,

Rachel and Renee

On behalf of the Andrew Jackson Foundation, it is my honor to provide these comments of endorsement of The Chestnut Group. We have worked with TCG twice in recent years; both times have been successful, outstanding experiences.

The members – artists, volunteers and staff – are exceptionally talented in their individual roles and committed to producing high-quality plein air art that captures the essence of Middle Tennessee.

The scenes of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage that the TCG artists have produced offer fresh and beguiling perspectives of this National Historic Landmark.

The Chestnut Group celebrates Tennessee’s immense natural blessings through painting. People are transported to wild and beautiful places by the Chestnut Group’s talented artists.

The Cumberland River Compact is so grateful to the painters for capturing and recording this beauty. Their paintings help us communicate the importance of our work. Their art shows are always a fun event that draw new as well as established art collectors. We are grateful for the Chestnut Group!

Mekayle Houghton, Executive Director CUMBERLAND RIVER COMPACT

The Chestnut Group has been a partner with us at Radnor Lake State Natural Area over the past 10+ years. I have and continue to be very grateful for their efforts on several fronts, including the donation of their time and talents to help us highlight the value of scenic places such as Radnor Lake, the plant life and wildlife that reside there and perhaps most importantly helping create a "sense of place" for millions of park visitors through their efforts. I look forward to working with the Chestnut Group and Friends of Radnor Lake this year as we close in on our fall 2017 event to continue that effort and look forward to working with them for many years to come

Steve Ward, Park Manager Radnor Lake
