Next Small Nashville
Nashville's Smallest Art Gallery opens this Saturday, March 15.
"In a former life," the curators write, "the gallery was a neglected, graffiti-covered glass display case on 21st Avenue between Posh Shoes and Peabody Shoe Repair."
At just 29 inches by 40 inches, NSAG is easily smaller than the Locker 50B Gallery at Virginia Commonwealth University, but it does lack miniaturized wood floors.
Nashville's Smallest does boast solar-powered lighting, however. The first exhibit, "The Ides of March," features work by Ferris Plock (San Francisco), Matt Curry (Washington DC) and Rachel Briggs (Nashville).
Opening reception is at 7 p.m. at 1807 1/2 21st Ave. South.

Readers, go to the link about the locker. It's unbelievable.
