Kindling Arts

Kindling Arts Nashville's home for radically unique, independent artists.

We are a non-profit arts organization that develops new works by contemporary and experimental artists based in Middle Tennessee, providing them with resources to create their most daring work.

We’re so grateful to hold a space in Nashville’s vibrant arts community where it’s wonderful to embrace the weird. Having the trust of local artists to share their most daring new creations via Kindling’s platform truly means the world to us. 

In our 9th year, we’re celebrating artists who imagine what’s possible if we let ourselves dream beyond the limits of what is with U T O P I A S.

We will again feature more than 20 performances and events from July 23-26, 2026 (Thursday - Sunday) at multiple venues across West Nashville.

We’ll be announcing this year’s line-up soon, but in the meantime, you can reserve your spot for this summer at the lowest price 👇

Early Bird pricing is now available for this summer’s festival –– this is the best price you’ll get on our passes, which allows you to maximize your festival experience and see as much art as you can.
