The Chestnut Group is pleased to have valued relationships within the arts community, and the business community at large. Our deepest gratitude goes to the following businesses for their support.
On Track Studios
Sponsorship level: Gold
Brenda Coldwell is the owner/artist of On Track Studios. OTS is a barn like structure that is a working studio for painters. Each of the six studios are private but with a sense of shared space with the other artists in the building. There is a large room for workshops and classes, including painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, and music. Painting outside, “en plein air” is wonderful at “On Track”. The studio sits on approximately two acres and has two large porches that are wonderful for painting on, eating lunch, and fellowship.

Her work is featured in galleries across the South and West and is held in private and corporate collections worldwide.

Warehouse 521
Sponsorship level: Gold
Warehouse 521, a gathering place in Nashville, Tennessee, for artists to learn, create, and be part of a welcoming community, opened in February 2013. Jeanie Smith felt Nashville needed a place where artists could learn the fundamentals of drawing, painting, and sculpture through workshops and weekly classes taught by professional artists. Most classes and workshops are taught using direct observation with live models or still life. In addition to learning new skills, artists working in a hospitable environment creates a feeling of camaraderie as they practice and learn more about art together.

Teague Moulding Company

Lyle Teague started the business in 1984 selling quality mouldings on the road at wholesale prices. In a few short years he expanded the business by bringing on Mexican Readymades and attending his first of many moulding trade shows in Italy. Since then Teague Moulding has imported hand-crafted mouldings from Italy every year.
Stan joined his father full-time in 1994 and took over ownership when Lyle retired in 2015. Stan continues the tradition of providing great service and high quality hand-crafted products at reasonable prices.
