Something BIG is coming to Edgehill... W.E. Fest!
A vibrant celebration of art, music, and community honoring Nashville’s own William Edmondson, the first African American sculptor to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. This year’s festival will fill Edgehill with live performances, interactive art, local vendors, and family-friendly fun—all inspired by Edmondson’s groundbreaking creativity.
The festival is free, and takes place at the very spot where Edmondson created his limestone masterpieces that have earned him accolades as the foremost self-taught sculptor of the 20th Century.
