What does a visual artist need to do to get the Nashville Scene’s attention? That’s a question we pose to Laura Hutson Hunter. Laura is the long-time arts editor of the Nashville Scene. For more than a decade, she’s overseen the paper’s visual arts coverage, and she’s written some of the publication’s most perceptive visual arts stories. In addition to writing and editing, Laura also curates the Scene’s Adult Contemporary art exhibition series. In this episode of MACC Talk, Laura joins host John Pitcher to talk about the hottest artists and exhibitions in Nashville. They also discuss a new book she has co-edited, titled In Her Place. Scheduled for publication by Vanderbilt University Press in December 2025, the book details prominent Nashville-based women artists. The episode is sponsored by Spencer Fane Bone McAllester.
