Black Vibrations is a bold celebration and exploration of the complexity of the Black experience, history, and culture. This group exhibition of more than a dozen Black artists from different backgrounds and generations serves as a platform for the celebration of Black history at the MACC. Artists participating in this exhibit include Michael McBride, a Tennessee State University art instructor best known for his celebrated mural of the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis in downtown Nashville, Rod McGaha, a noted jazz trumpeter and photographer, and Tricia Townes, a Nashville-based artist whose practice includes the creation of socially engaged artworks. Other artists in this exhibit include Omari Booker, Samuel Dunson, Leroy Hodges, Barbara Hodges, Ashley Mintz, Lakesha Calvin, Michael Mucker, Shadale Smith, Nadine Shillingford and XPayne.
The exhibit is curated by Donna Woodley, a TSU art instructor. For more information call (615) 822-0789.

Kaylin Warden joined the Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center staff in 2024 as External Affairs Coordinator. In this post, she organizes special off-site events and manages the organization’s external communications. She also works with the development department by updating the MACC’s customer relations database, and she assists the executive director in setting up exhibitions. Above all else, Kaylin is passionate about the arts. It comes as no surprise, then, that she is now pursuing a master’s degree in art history. When she’s not at the MACC, you can find her reading her favorite books (especially ones dealing with maritime mysteries), cooking, gardening, playing with her cat and two dogs, and cheering for the Nashville Predators.
