While the Frist Center brings the finest art from all over the world to Nashville, there is an abiding dedication to connecting with the community.  The major entryway into the Frist Center, the Conte Community Arts Gallery, has been dedicated to finding, creating and making connections with the community.

The space is appropriately named for Andrea Conte, Tennessee’s First Lady, who has been ardent and articulate in support of the arts and the necessity to connect with community.
