SUMMARY:Coffee Talk with Metro Arts
DESCRIPTION:Coffee Talk with Metro Arts is a monthly community gathering where artists\, neighbors\, and anyone looking to get involved in the Nashville arts scene can connect and share their stories. Join us to learn about upcoming projects and opportunities and meet the people creating exciting new art in Nashville. \nThe next Coffee Talk will be Wednesday\, May 6\, from 9:30–11:00am. As part of an ongoing effort to expand the Coffee Talk program with venues and art\, Metro Arts is co-hosting this round with the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM) at 510 Broadway\, Nashville\, TN 37203. \nThis edition of Coffee Talk with Metro Arts will feature new ideas and programs from those who attend who wish to share. There will be representatives from NMAAM and several members of Metro Arts staff to share more information about current and upcoming events and art crawls. There will also be several other local artists on location to share current events in our creative ecosystem. \nImportant note that this is NMAAM’s Nissan Free Wednesday\, so after Coffee Talk\, everyone can stay and explore the galleries for FREE and also return for the Sounds in Cinema program at 3:30pm (also FREE). \nElixir Coffee provided by the National Museum of African American Music. \n\nWe’re happy to share a convenient parking option for NMAAM visitors at the Fifth + Broadway garage\, operated by Metropolis. The entrance is located at the intersection of Broadway and 6th Avenue. Parking is a flat fee of $22 for 12 hours. You will need to set up your Metropolis account with payment information by scanning the QR codes posted in the garage\, then submit your license plate number at the kiosks within the museum lobby to claim your discount. \nAlternatively\, you can find shorter\, potentially cheaper downtown street parking via the following two links: \nhttps://nashvilledowntown.com/get-around/nashville-parking/on-street-parking \nhttps://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/traffic-and-parking/parking/paid-parking
