Plowhaus is FIVE years old!

"IT's PLOWRAGEOUS"
our 5th Anniversary Show Party Event, celebrating artists the same night as ARTRAGEOUS
Saturday - November 11th 2006 7pm - 11pm
with live music by Carrie Mills and East Nashville Cat House Blues and Good Time Boogie Band

Five years later...against all odds, we are still here!! To celebrate the occasion all of the alumni and present artists have been asked to put one piece on display for one weekend. This show will honor the artists that kept the Plowhaus going, for without them there wouldn't have been an artist co-op.

In light of the tragedy of 9-11, three artists stood outside a small store front on S. 17th St. in East Nashville, and made a promise to each other and themselves that they would stay close to home and work with local artists to start a grass roots artists' co-op, run and operated by local artists. From that day Plowhaus started to grow and it keeps growing. We started with a handful of artists, many of them have gone on to great success as Painters, Printmakers, Fabric Artists, Photographers, and Musicians!

Now Plowhaus has gained its 501(c)3 (non-profit) status, has over 80 members and occupies a 2000 sq. ft of space that they allow other artist groups to use such as: Untitled, SNAP, and The Plate Tone Printmakers.

It has been said by many " it's the coolest art space in town."

This Event is to show our community how grateful we are for their support over the years and to congratulate ourselves for the hard work we have done and continue to do in order to keep Plowhaus your local artists' coop going. There are over 100 artists in this show, including a lot of the original members:

J.D. Wilkes, Lesley Paterson-Marx, Franne Lee, Stacey Irvin, Bryce McCloud, Julie Sola, Eric England, Lynn Taylor, Keith Harmon, Sheila B., Annie Friedman, Joe Hardwick, Erika Wollam-Nichols, Lain York, Brittany Conners, Robert Vore, Joni Bishop. Tiffany Dyer-Denton, Jeff Frazier, Ali Bellos, Andee Rudloff, Patricia Earnhardt, Jennifer Quigley, Asia Mathis, Raeanne Rubinstein and many more!

You are invited to come celebrate with us!!
