Nashville has been known to operate as an incubator for artistic talent, and its verve for local makers is exhibited by events across the city. Everything from Porter Flea to the annual book festival in the fall is meant to exhume the beauty of our great city and bring to light all the small businesses that add a bit of quirk and fun to the local landscape. If you find yourself in east Nashville, then we have a spot for you to visit on the first Sunday of the month…and every month thereafter.
