“The Suburban shows an array of artists from near and far, two at a time, in two small galleries. The spaces are formal, with smooth concrete floors and clean white walls, but the minute you exit you are in a suburban backyard complete with children, barbeque, and recycling bins. It is a juxtaposition that I find thrilling.

“In the gallery adjacent to the one where I am exhibiting, Cip Contreras, who lives and works in Nashville, is showing a mixed-media installation, and in Shane Campbell’s satellite space, also housed in the Suburban complex, is a video installation by Jeffrey Wells. Visit now and consider this a recommendation for the future, as this is a completely unique and incredible place to form or refresh your love of art community. The Suburban is open by appointment. Do not miss their Sunday 2 p.m. openings with cheap beer and delicious bratwursts.”
