The Christine Slayden Tibbott Gallery is pleased to introduce Nashville art enthusiasts to the vibrant, compelling works of participants in the Room In The Inn arts program.
The gallery will be open to the public from from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, September 4 and continue to exhibit mixed media works created in the Room In The Inn art studio throughout the month. There will also be a reception at 4 p.m. Thursday, September 11.
The exhibit titled “Do You Know How Good You Are?” was the question Room In The Inn founder Charles Strobel asked everyone he met.
The exhibition is the culmination of a simple but profound premise: creativity feeds the soul.
The Room In The Inn arts program is led by Nashville artist and retired USN Art Teacher Delia Seigenthaler.
“I am proud to join my colleagues at Room In The Inn in celebrating the visionary perspectives of the artists participating in this exhibit,” said Seigenthaler. “I truly believe that this collection of works is as worthy of representation as any other and deserves inclusion in the broader creative conversation. ‘Do You Know How Good You Are?’ is both an assertion of the artists’ humanity and their extraordinary talent.”
Guided by Seigenthaler, Room In Inn’s arts program advances Strobel’s philosophy that everyone is worthy of love and remembrance.
Proceeds from the sale of works in the exhibition will benefit Room In The Inn.
