WE Fest 2026 — William Edmondson Arts & Culture Festival

WE Fest celebrates the artistic legacy of William Edmondson at the historic Nashville homesite where the groundbreaking sculptor made his work. The free daytime festival brings artists, art lovers, live demonstrations, food trucks, craft vendors, and live performances together around a story that is distinctly Nashville. Edmondson was the first African American artist to receive a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, giving this event real cultural depth beyond a typical art fair. Use it as a relaxed weekend stop for meeting local makers, seeing demonstrations, and spending a few hours in a creative outdoor setting with a strong sense of place.
