front lawn of Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
American Artisan Festival has been a fixture in Nashville for over 40 years and is part of the fabric of the city and the annual arts calendar. The show has always been able to draw high-end customers by being the highest quality art show in the city.
First and foremost our mission is to present the highest quality contemporary craft and fine artists, and demonstrate to our community that handmade in America is truly something special. Our aim since 1971 is making art more accessible by curating collectible works in a variety of mediums, and at a wide range of prices. 
 
We will be adding new programming around art collecting and art advisory to encourage visitors to get help walking the show seeking specific items or art. We will also be working on an exciting new musical program to drive more engagement and visitors to the park. We host cash artist awards and an artist-only event to gather and connect together during the weekend.
