2021 Events Coming Soon

Chihuly at Cheekwood

The exhibition will open at the same time of the reopening of the Carell Woodland Sculpture Trail. Guests can expect large-scale installations in the gardens, pedestal work in the galleries, and a monumental sculpture in the Frist Learning Center Great Hall. Guests may view the exhibit during the day from 9:00am to 4:30pm and during the night, Thursday through Sunday, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm. Daytime admission to the exhibit will be included with a purchase of a general admission ticket. Admission to the exhibit during the evening will require a separate ticket.

Music of the Beatles for Kids

The Rock and Roll Playhouse, a family concert series hosted at historic music venues across the country, allows kids to “move, play and sing while listening to works from the classic-rock canon” (NY Times). Performing songs created by the most iconic musicians in rock history, The Rock and Roll Playhouse band offers its core audience of families with children age ten and under games, movement, stories and an opportunity to rock out in an effort to educate children and explore their creativity. The Rock and Roll Playhouse is an early and often first introduction to a child’s lifelong journey with live music and rock and roll. See you at the show! This concert for kids and families shares the music of The Beatles with a new generation of music lovers, but is not associated with or endorsed by the artists. All children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.

Shaving Cream Paper Marbling

Marbling stations will be set up on tables and shared between 2-4 students, depending on class size. Students will spray shaving cream into their dishes, then smooth it with a spatula. Using pipettes, students will drop paint in colors of their choice onto the surface of the shaving cream, then use craft sticks to swirl the colors together. Students will press watercolor paper into the painted shaving cream, lift, and scrape off excess with a ruler, revealing beautiful marbled paper underneath. This class is open to students of all ages. Children under 5 may require parental assistance.

Frothy Monkey Wine Love Dinner - The Nations

For the Wine Love dinners, guests will gather at Frothy Monkey Franklin and Frothy in the Nations (Nashville) to taste wines together that have been perfectly paired with course menus designed by their Chef, Chase Ingalls and their bakery pastry chefs. Chef Chase’s approach to these dinners is to source the highest quality seasonal ingredients and create a menu that combines creativity, thoughtful flavor profiles and dishes that are truly inspired by the relationship between the food and wine.

Annual Ragin Cajun Crawfish Boil

All tickets include all-you-can-eat crawfish, premium canned beer, Louisiana-style sides, a kids area, and live entertainment. This annual, family-friendly event hosted by the Nashville Junior Chamber attracts over 1,000 attendees. A portion of proceeds benefits Special Olympics of Tennessee.
