COVID-19: Regional and State Resources for Artists

We’ve seen an outpouring of community support for the many disenfranchised groups throughout the world at this time. The Rutherford Arts Alliance maintains its vigil for resources that may be of assistance to our local arts community. Please consider the resources from these organizations, available not only to Nashville but the surrounding area.

Creativity and Wellness in the Time of Coronavirus

Did you know that just 45 minutes of creative activity has been shown to lessen stress in the body, regardless of your level of artistic experience or talent? During this time of social distancing, the Rutherford Arts Alliance wants to help you stay home and stay inspired!  Follow our series or share your own creativity with #stayhomeandstayinspired and #makeartbewell.

Celebrating our first mural festival in the media—and on a t-shirt!

The RAA’s first mural festival has resulted in new public art in downtown Murfreesboro. A matching t-shirt featuring the mural’s design, suitable for fabric painting, helps us spread the message of our growing arts community.
