YOUR INVITED TO THE FORGE FRONT LAWN
YOUR INVITED TO THE FORGE FRONT LAWN
On September 19 from 3pm to 10pm, join us for a one-night celebration of all the makers and artists who call The Forge their creative home. This year, rather than our typical 'Forge Birthday', we’re throwing a block party, filling our 'front lawn' with artist-designed metal flamingos and opening our doors for an evening of exhibitions, music, drinks, and a Family Recipe Contest. We'll also have live studio demos, and a few unexpected moments tucked throughout the space.
This event raises critical funds for The Forge’s community programs—studio scholarships, youth education, and our Future Makers initiative. Your ticket directly supports working artists, future students, and everything it takes to keep a space like this thriving. It also includes access to the party, open bar, and a table full of lovingly made family-style dishes. Come ready to support, celebrate, and spend the evening surrounded by creative energy!
GET INVOLVED
The Forge has a place for everyone, whether you are looking for a full table in a shop,
a community co-working space, or just want to support Nashville’s Makers.
To assist artists, makers, and creatives, The Forge depends upon the generosity of our partners and sponsors.
In-kind contributions, monetary gifts, and volunteer time are all equally important facets of our strength as an organization.
