MARCH 16th, 2021 – Nashville, Tenn. – Brookfield Properties today announces a month-long celebration of local art and artists at Fifth + Broadway, its transformative mixed-use destination in the heart of downtown.

“Fifth + Broadway is a celebration of Nashville, it is more than a project to us, it is a showcase of what makes Nashville special,” said Tom Miller, General Manager of Fifth + Broadway. “Art in Motion is a great example or perpetual effort to engage the creative heartbeat of the city to make this a truly special place worth returning to again and again.”

“Art in Motion is a celebration of the immense artistic talent found in Nashville,” said Ashley Bergeron who owns Swipe Right Art, found within Fifth + Broadway, and The Studio 208. “Fifth + Broadway is an incredible conduit to introduce new audiences to local artists that help fuel this city’s soul and creativity. We can’t wait for people to experience it.”

Art in Motion contains two distinct activations, which are outlined as follows:
