Opportunity to Support Tn Parks and Greenways Foundation

The Tennessee Parks & Greenways Foundation needs your help!

On March 13, 2015, the inaugural Spring Fling for TennGreen is honoring Anne Davis & Mayor Karl Dean for their achievements in environmental conservation in Nashville and throughout Tennessee. To raise funds to continue conserving Tennessee’s natural treasures, the event will feature an auction, and TennGreen is looking for donations of artwork for the auction. All donations are tax-deductible! If you are interested in donating art or anything else, or want to learn more about the event or purchase tickets, please contact Alice Hudson at alice@tenngreen.org or 615-329-4441. Thank you!

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!

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
