Publisher’s Note | September

September 2010September is all about fashion. New fashions are in; old fashions are out, though sometimes it’s hard to tell which is coming or going. So we sent out two of Nashville’s finest photographers to capture what is going on in the fickle world of fashion. Look for “Negative Space” by Michael Howard on page 34 and “Artcessories” by Jerry Atnip on page 52. We hope you enjoy their bold, edgy look at fashion.

This month both Ted Clayton and Linda Dyer are on vacation, but they will be back full force in October with the latest in Antiques and Nashville’s bubbling social scene.

We thought you might enjoy this letter sent to our offices by Nashville reader Casey Thompson. We were touched by this.

I have struggled emotionally for years as a visual artist, hopelessly trying to face my demons and start painting again. I have found myself religiously picking up the Nashville Arts Magazine in hopes that I can find a glimpse of inspiration from other local artists, and I always do. Every issue helps me see the rawness of your featured artists, and helps me know I’m not alone in this relentless world of creativity. I recently found the gumption to have a show, and it took all I had, but I faced my fears. Thank you all so much for putting your time and effort into these issues and know there are shy artists like me striving to be more with the help of your words. I only hope I can one day do the same thing for the local community.

Casey Thompson, artist
