For more than 50 years the American Artisan Festival has showcased high-quality fine art and contemporary crafts made by American artists. It began in Bandywood, then moved to Centennial Park and now will be in Nashville’s most highly trafficked park city-wide. For the first time in its history, the festival moves downtown to Walk of Fame Park.

Each weekend more than 400,000 people from Nashville and around the world visit downtown Nashville and this park is the center - a block from 5th and Broadway, Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville Symphony Hall, The Music City Convention Center and a host of restaurants and other Nashville stops for tourists and locals alike. We are beyond thrilled to introduce those Nashville visitors to The American Artisan Festival and are confident we will have more visitors than ever before.

The American Artisan Festival is a part of the third annual Artville, which includes up to 20 large-scale public art installations throughout Nashville, including Walk of Fame Park. Hosting this event along-side our city-wide art festival will ensure that The American Artisan Festival will engage with a broader group of art lovers and collectors.
