LIGHT: Bruce Munro at Cheekwood

The luminous light installations featuring the work of renowned British artist Bruce Munro return to Nashville in the exhibition, LIGHT: Bruce Munro at Cheekwood. Munro first presented his award-winning outdoor art exhibition for only the second time in North America at Cheekwood in 2013. Cheekwood is honored to again host this exhibition for a special 10th anniversary celebration featuring immersive, grand-scale light installations that are displayed throughout Cheekwood’s beautiful vistas, manicured gardens, The Carell Trail, in the Historic Mansion & Museum and Frist Learning Center. 

LIGHT is designed to respond to and enhance the outdoor garden and indoor gallery experiences, encouraging an awareness of our individual and collective journeys through time and space. The interplay between Munro’s three-dimensional creations and the surrounding environment—at dusk and after dark—heightens the sense of time’s passage, reinforced through works with expressed childhood and literary themes. Whether backlit sea glass or pigment on paper, his two-dimensional works likewise comment on life through the “language of light” as seen in the mansion galleries.

Spanning the Atlantic: The Arts & Crafts Movement in America

Following 2021’s Spanning the Atlantic: The Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain, this exhibition is the second of a two-part series examining the international Arts & Crafts movement. First developed in the British Isles during the 19th century, the Arts & Crafts movement was spurred by anxieties over industrialization which fueled a resurgence of traditional craftsmanship. With harkening nods to medieval, folk, and colonial forms and an emphasis on rectilinearity, an earthy palette, and subdued ornamentation, the Arts & Crafts movement reached its height in America in the early 20th century. Spanning the Atlantic: The Arts & Crafts Movement in America brings together over 100 objects from this period, including exceptional examples of furniture by Gustav Stickley and Harvey Ellis; pottery by Grueby Faience Company; Newcomb Pottery and Rookwood; glass by Tiffany; and silver, metalwork, and textiles by some of the most talented American craftsmen and women of the time.
