Andee-Nashville Scene's "Best of"...


The Nashville Scene's "Best of Nashville"

Possibly one of the busiest artists in town, Andee Rudloff is more common at the city's art functions than Merlot. Even while working as educator for outreach at the Frist Center and regularly collaborating with artists in Nashville and Paducah, Ky., she not only manages to attend all the local openings but also seems inexhaustibly available for questions, thoughts and inspiration. Rudloff's attitude is as energizing for her peers as the dynamic hues in her colorful paintings. Now if she'll just take a breath. -AMANDA DILLINGHAM

Comment by Nancy VanReece from Nashville:
Andee warms all who know her like a good glass of merlot as well. Her Kentucky time is spent in Bowling Green rather than Paducah but those of us who know her best know that her heart is in Nashville. (wink wink)

Comment by kim.chalmers from Bowling Green, KY:
I couldn't agree more! Your selection of Andee Rudloff as Best Art Community Energizer is right on the mark. Andee works tirelessly and enthusiastically across a broad spectrum to keep all artists informed of art activities and opportunities from Bowling Green, KY to Nashville, TN. She is generous and supportive of emerging and established artists as well as exhibition venues, community enrichment organizations and educational institutions forming a network of support and encouragement that fosters open dialogue, cultural engagement and creative extension and awareness at all levels. Hers is a natural giving that is driven by boundless enthusiasm for the complex joys of art and humanity. Congratulations Andee!

It's great to see Andee appreciated in her new city! While she spends most of her time in Nashville now, she could easily still win the same honor here in BG for all she continues to do. Andee is the creator and organizer for the BG International Festival's Gallery Walk & everyone that comes into contact with her is impressed with her resourcefulness and dedication in promoting local arts!
You rock Andee!
